At Merchants, we’re drawn to leather that’s been made properly — pieces with character, built to be carried every day and kept for years. Bark & Bison sits beautifully alongside our other leather favourites, offering considered design and a quality you can feel the moment you pick a bag up.
An Australian label working exclusively in full-grain leather, Bark & Bison combines traditional techniques with modern precision. Every piece is hand-stitched and finished by washing, tumbling and oiling to build rich texture and depth, which means no two are ever exactly the same. The collection takes its cues from Australia’s landscapes and everyday lifestyles, spanning crossbody bags, totes, slings, woven styles and laptop bags, along with travel duffles, wallets, cardholders, passport holders and toiletry bags.
What we love most is the way these pieces are designed to last for years, not seasons — leather that ages beautifully and only improves with wear. It’s an unfussy, hardworking kind of luxury that suits work, weekends and travel equally well. You’ll find the full range in-store at Merchants.

Jeremy’s mother Christelle brings Jeremy in every week for a wander around the toy room and to buy him a little treat. How lovely is that!South Perth
