Where It All Started
Buckaroo started as so many other Australian stories do.
It’s the story of an immigrant who sought the shores of the ‘lucky country’ to build a better life. With him came a love of leatherwork and an entrepreneurial savviness that identified an opportunity to utilise Australian quality materials and couple that with unique leather craftsmanship resulting in beautiful leather products, distinctive, like Australia itself.
The Buckaroo brand has an over 50 year history in Australia
starting as a small manufacturer of all types of leathergoods. In the late nineties, the course of the Buckaroo brand took a remarkable turn thanks to a seemingly straightforward request from two Maori tradesmen. Seeking a tool belt that offered comfort, superior quality, and exceptional support, they inspired the creation of Buckaroo's flagship product—the renowned Signature Tradesman Back Support Tool Belt, which has since become our best-selling item.
Working with leather is like working with any other natural material, there’s a deep history that comes with the craft and it only works if you respect the material and traditional ways of working. At Buckaroo we combine our passion with innovative design and an enthusiasm for learning. With plenty of trial and error and constant feedback from our customers we believe we’ve found a formula that works, a unique approach combing tradition and innovation.
In the 2000's the bespoke design tool bag single-handedly
revolutionised the way tradies carried their tools and ushered in a new and exciting era for Buckaroo and the greater industry.
Today, the brand remains deeply committed to its core values of integrity, collaboration, dedication, and innovation. These values are proudly upheld as we continue to thrive as a global exporter, reaching customers worldwide.
We are one of a very few leather goods manufacturers left in Australia and we’re committed to continuing our 100% Australian made stance. Our products personify the unique characteristics of Australia - tough, rugged, durable, beautiful and unashamedly different. Embodying a trusted and reliable Australian working ethic, Buckaroo Leatherworks is much more than a tool belt manufacturer.
Buckaroo have been handcrafting premium leather tool belts in Australia since the eighties. We’re committed to manufacturing in Australia for the quality and the economy and we guarantee fair working conditions, always.
Located in the seaside suburb of Bellambi, our heart lies in
the sand and the salt of D’harawal country on the New South Wales South Coast. The natural light pours into our space, the scent of salt from the Pacific Ocean is always in the air and the afternoon sun lets us know the day is coming to an end as it sets behind the bracelet of the mountain to our west. We’re appreciative of our beautiful location, the gifts it provides us and the history of the land we call home. It’s a place of work, but it’s also very personal.
