Starting Small
Humble Beginnings
Ben decided to make himself a belt in 2005, and that first one seemed to turn out very well, so with that, a new love affair began.
After a year and a half of making firmer vegetable tanned leather belts for his clothing label 'El Cato', he decided to give into the requests of customers and friends to make some softer womens belts. That was late 2006, and Charlie Middleton was born.
Jump forward to now and the range consists of hundreds of products, and thousands of options, yet every item is still lovingly handmade in the Sydney workshop.

Love it…beautiful, soft, goes with everything and easy to carry. I would like to be able to fasten it but otherwise it’s great!
Practical. Beautiful. Versatile. My go-to everyday bag for running errands.
Am absolutely loving this larger of the two totes. It is soft and roomy but doesn’t look too big. I’m really fussy about bags - it is so important to the right size, number of pockets, style etc to make life easier. Despite the current COVID situation where we cannot easily touch and feel products before we buy them, Ben helped out by answering my queries personally and giving his opinion on the best bag to suit my needs. I love that they are Australian made - and have such a large range.
Fantastic quality, perfect sized bag. Quickly delivered and beautifully presented too.
This bag is so worth the wait. Excellent quality. I bought it as a gift for my daughter. I will get a smaller one for my self next time.
