Welcome to **Silver & Leather Co** – your hidden gem on the wide-open Mallee Highway in Jabuk, South Australia.
Nestled right along this iconic stretch of road – where the skies stretch forever, the red earth meets endless horizons, and the spirit feels a little like living on Australia’s own Route 66 – we invite travellers, day-trippers, and locals alike to pull over, step inside, and discover a true slice of outback hospitality.
Here, Leathersmith Heidi crafts every piece by hand using the finest Australian-sourced leather. From everyday essentials like **bags**, **purses**, **wallets**, and **journals** to rugged companions such as **travel bags**, **computer bags**, **knife rolls**, and a whole range of other unique leather goods – each one tells a story of quality, durability, and timeless style.
Don’t miss our famous **two-ended mini** – a quirky creation by the mad inventor and his mate, now a beloved Mallee Highway icon that captures the playful heart of this land.
Jabuk itself is the soul of our range – a quiet history hub surrounded by the raw beauty of the Mallee: vast paddocks, hardy wildlife like our local ‘Shane the Shingleback’ lizards sunning themselves roadside, and the occasional mob of kangaroos bounding across the plain. It’s a place that reminds you of freedom, resilience, and the simple joys of wide-open spaces.
And we’re more than just leather. Come in for a proper **plunge coffee** (just like the homestead brews of 1959), homemade **cakes**, creamy **milkshakes**, and soon – hearty **toasted sandwiches** and classic **bacon & egg brekky burgers**. Keep an eye out for **Walkabout Bob**’s culinary surprises – his creations appear like magic and sell out fast, so if you spot a post of his latest delight, don’t wait!
Our **Trading Post** corner celebrates local makers and growers: fresh produce straight from Pete’s patch (including those legendary butt-nutts from his chooks), the most beautiful blooms from Shirley’s garden most days, and golden jars of pure **Gum Tree honey** from the Hooper boys. Everything here is proudly Australian-made and community-supported.
We’re open whenever the flags are out – so if you see them flying, swing by! Whether you’re road-tripping the Mallee, exploring the region’s history, or just craving a warm chat over great coffee, Silver & Leather Co is waiting to welcome you like family.
Drop in, browse the leather treasures, grab a bite, support local, and soak up the easy rhythm of outback life.
See you soon on the Mallee Highway – Jabuk’s friendly stop awaits! ☕👜🌾n most themes).
