About

Previously made in Melbourne, under the name Cherokee Starlight, Lake Leather has sold the slippers made on this machinery for over thirty years. Now that the original manufacturers have retired, they offered Lake Leather the opportunity to purchase the machinery and equipment to continue their legacy.

Behold, The Tasmanian Slipper Company is born! The machinery is now installed in the garage of the Evandale Lake Leather shop building, promising to be an exciting new chapter.

We love to develop new skills and grow, so this is an exciting addition to our business – none of us have done this before, so we are thrilled to be learning a new tradecraft and adding another line to our productions.

The specialised slipper machinery will compliment the on-site workshop that has been active for the past ten years. Now not just producing bags, belts and purses etc. on-site, but our own range of sheepskin slippers boots and slides in addition.

We are working on offering our own custom Ugg-style boots, “Thugg Boots“, which our customers can design themselves and have made in our Evandale factory.

These will not be available for some time, but plans are currently underway, and we will keep you posted when we have the first of the fluffy slippers rolling off our production line.
