SKT Leather is our small Australian business based in North East Victoria, entirely family owned and operated by George & Sharron Taylor and daughter Sarah. Everything here on our website is personally hand made by our family here in our workshop, using traditional skills and only the best quality materials.
It all started in 1981, when Sharron and George met and fell in love whilst mustering cattle on horseback in the Victorian High Plains. After using stockwhips for the first time, Sharron made it her mission to learn to make great whips and revive the traditional art of whipmaking. Already a budding leatherworker, Sharron worked hard to refine her skills and knowledge, and began selling some of her creations in the late ‘80s. Over the years SKT Leather has grown, with daughter Sarah joining the business in recent years. In 2020 we celebrated 30 years since the official beginnings of the business.
SKT Leather make a wide range of gear, as well as specialising in custom orders. From belts, whips, and diary covers, through to horse gear for all purposes; simple, hard wearing work gear through to fine turnout for the show ring. We’re very proud to be one of the few saddlers approved by the Australian Stock Horse Society (ASHS) to be able to display the licenced ‘A’ logo on our saddlery, and the only one in Victoria.
With a focus on quality and detail, we take great pride in everything that we make and are pleased to be able to tailor our gear to suit you. We’re always happy to chat or discuss your needs, so please feel free to drop us a line!
