In 2017, Leanne's cat scratched her lounge. She went looking for a fix. Immediately, she began learning about leather and sourcing the ingredients that later developed into the Leather Hero range of solutions. Within months she fixed her lounge and converted her love of restoring into a range of products and services. In the early years she rigorously tested her products and delivered countless incredible restorations. 

Closing the service offering at the beginning of Covid, Leather Hero shifted focus towards DIY kits distributed via the oline store. It now offers almost 50 products tailored to every leather type and 85+ colour options. Today, this premium range is trusted by tens of thousands of Australians, many of whom share their Before & After images and enthusiastically move on to their next Leather Hero restoration. 

Leather Hero remains family-owned with the next generation helping to fulfill Leanne’s mission to give people the tools and knowledge they need to maximise the viable life of their possessions and reduce the fast consumption to waste cycle that results in mountains of landfill. 

The team at Leather Hero know what leather needs to look amazing for longer. They have also seen almost every way leather goes wrong. From everyday wear and tear to accidents, pet damage, and years of UV and perspiration exposure, they’ve seen it all. They know what is possible at home with the right kit and clear instructions. 

Our information comes from real-life hands-on experience, shared information from our network of leather industry professionals, and access to scientific research and development. 

Our kits are designed to meet the most typical needs of the many and varied jobs that crop up. We aim to offer a solution for every project, all types of leather and all aesthetics. 

It’s good to remember that there is not one leather, one tannery or one type of leather finish. Quality and durability vary dramatically. New techniques, finishes and styles continue to emerge, as do new, cleaner and greener ways of caring and fixing leather.

Be inspired to care for your possessions and repair before replacing.  We invite you to share your success stories and send your photos to hang in our Customer Before & After Gallery alongside other amazing DIY jobs.
