A LABOUR OF LOVE
People would ask Christopher in his Sydney atelier, ‘What distinguishes Christopher Hanlon® from other brands on the market?’ Before he could respond, they would add, ‘It looks like a global house.’ The answer lies in authorship. Christopher Hanlon® is an independent Australian house, conceived and directed entirely under the creative authority of its living, namesake founder. The House of Hanlon® does not operate through industrial scale nor anonymous mass production. Instead, each bag is individually fashioned in limited numbers by a small atelier team of one or two craftsmen working alongside Christopher himself. This method preserves the personal integrity of its Australian craftsmanship and ensures continuity of vision from initial design through to final creation. Each piece is realised as a singular Bespoke commission, or in numbered editions of five, ten, fifteen or twenty-five (CH®Sport launching 2026): ensuring rarity, precision and permanence. As an independent Australian artisan house, we believe there are few things that make a fashionista feel so good as a beautifully crafted leather bag. Sustainably fashioned by people who love their craft with simple hand skills that tell a story of thoughtful craftsmanship. So please enjoy the artisanal fruits of our labour. After all, it’s the real Australian McCoy.
