Can you tell us how the business started and what that means to you today?
Replied byPaul Guyett
Managing Director at Leffler Leather
Niche: Retail
Revenue: $1M+/month
Location: Australia
Started: 1932
The business began in 1932 when Henry Leffler sold leather from the boot of his car. That story still matters because it reminds us that growth comes from small beginnings. Even with thousands of products today, the original mindset of building carefully and honestly remains central to how we operate.
