Situated on 417 King Street, Newtown is Leo Monk makers of quality Italian leather handbags. This shop is often described as the "Jewel of King street".
Leo Monk bags have a very distinct look and feel, I am sure you have seen some of these in the popular Sydney markets - like Paddington and the Rocks. The bags are exotically carved in leather, generally in very bright and artistic colours.
Personally I love their bags and is a must in any ladies' collection of handbags and clutches. The fact that you are not going to find this anywhere else in the world - makes it a great gift idea for people travelling or just as presents for people overseas. The bags are all limited edition and are not mass produced. Each of the bags is handcrafted to perfection.
If you are curious enough - you can even go and have a peek into their workshop which is located in the store. Looking at the quality and the creativity behind these bags the eclectic mix of textures and colours, the price is not over the top, in fact it's really worth every cent.
To me , its a piece of art ! read more
