Product designers Paul Kinny and Christina Teresinski, founders of the newly launched Made Measure in Melbourne, are in the midst of a love affair with leather. Their first collection consists of simple, handcrafted handles and pulls made in their studio of high-grade leather that improves with age. They also make wallets and iPad cases from the same leather. And in case you need a customized version of their designs, they stand ready to assist.

It also comes in different styles: No Stitch, Matching Stitch, (shown), and Contrast Stitch, and you can choose from a handle with single or double holes; prices start at AUD $18 from Made Measure.
