STUDIO Ella Jackson is a working leather studio where Ella designs and makes each piece by hand.

All Ella Jackson pieces are designed and made by hand at STUDIO Ella Jackson in Bellerive, Tasmania.

Yes. Every piece is individually cut, assembled and finished by hand in the studio.

Ella works primarily with full-grain and top-grain cowhide and kangaroo leathers sourced from trusted suppliers in Australia, New Zealand and Italy. Chosen for their strength, character and longevity, these leathers develop a rich patina with age and use.

All leathers used are by-products of the meat and dairy industries.

Full-grain leather is the highest quality part of the hide, retaining the natural grain surface. It is valued for its strength, durability and the way it develops character with age and use.

Quality leather develops a natural patina through use. Rather than wearing out, it gains character, becoming softer, richer and more individual over time. With occasional care and conditioning, a well-made leather piece can be enjoyed for many years.

For ongoing care, STUDIO Ella Jackson's 100% natural leather conditioner is available to purchase in the studio.

Slow fashion is an approach to design and production that values quality, longevity and responsible making. Rather than producing large volumes of trend-driven products, the focus is on creating fewer, better pieces that are made thoughtfully and built to last.

The current selection changes regularly. The best way to view available work is by visiting STUDIO Ella Jackson in person or following @ella_jackson_australia on Instagram.

Prices vary depending on the design and complexity of the piece. Small leather goods typically start from around $50, while larger bags range from approximately $250 to $800+.

Yes. A limited number of custom commissions are accepted each year.

The process begins with a discussion about your requirements, followed by a design proposal and quotation.

Once the commission is confirmed, a 50% deposit is required before materials are ordered. The remaining balance is payable upon completion and prior to collection or shipping.

Materials are typically ordered once the deposit has been received and generally arrive within 1–2 weeks.

Making time is usually 2–3 weeks once materials have arrived.

As a guide, most commissions require approximately 4–5 weeks from confirmation to completion. If your order is time-sensitive, please mention this when making your enquiry.

Possibly. Urgent orders may be accommodated depending on current workload and material availability. Please specify your required timeframe when enquiring.

Leather benefits from occasional conditioning and should be protected from prolonged moisture, excessive heat and direct sunlight. With regular use and care, quality leather will age beautifully, developing a rich patina unique to its owner.

For ongoing care, STUDIO Ella Jackson offers a 100% natural leather conditioner, made in-house and available in the studio.
