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.

Surely the most beautiful leather tote bag I have ever owned. Fits so much yet never feels uncomfortable on my shoulder. Only a bag this special can afford to be this minimalist. I’m in love.
I love everything about my new cross body bag. The leather is gorgeous and buttery, the colour sublime, and the size is ideal for essentials. The craftsmanship is impeccable and the hardware beautiful quality. Ive been looking for the perfect cross body bag for ages and finally found it.
Fell in love with all Charlie Middleton’s bags and purses when I first visited their small Bondi shop in 2018. Slowly over continued to grow my collection of classic bags that will never go out of fashion.
Thank you again for such high quality, beautiful bags that last forever!
The quality of materials and crafting are superb. The subtlety of the branding outside is excellent, and the surprise branding inside is lovely. Fabulous work, a joy to use!

You have ruined every other bag I look at. I look forward to adding to my collection. The website is ace and I also love that the linings are a surprise.
So excited to receive a hand-made Australian handbag from Charlie Middleton for my birthday. Beautifully packaged, excellent care information and the most beautiful leather. I hope I last as long as the bag!!!!!
Bought this purse to use with my new cross body bag and it fits perfectly, great size, beautiful soft leather, really well made. Fits 4 cards in the credit card slot. Will for ever buy bags and purses from Charlie Middleton, just wish I had known about them earlier.
