The Bec Leather Story

Bec Leather was born out of a passion for the outdoors and a love of leather. Here is a bit about our story.

We are a niche, home grown, leather company specialising in uniquely designed products. All our products are handcrafted locally with love and care. We source ethically from feral pest species in the great New Zealand outdoors.

We have a deep appreciation for quality cut and prepared skins. A learned skill, the aquiring of which is evidenced by the numerous times we have won the NZBS Best Skin award with our flat skins.

New Zealand is full of pest species and we try to do our bit by harvesting hundreds of these pests from around the country every year, doing all we can to use as much of the animal as possible.

How we hunt – our code of ethics

All animals are taken as cleanly as possible. We hunt in accordance to DOC regulations and the New Zealand Bowhunters Society rules of fair chase. This means we don’t shoot animals that are reliant on their mothers or shoot any animal that doesn’t have a way of easily escaping. We hunt using both rifles and bows, ensuring accuracy as much as possible at all times.
