Pechey Sandals

Gillian Pechey

Leather Worker

 

Handcrafted by Gillian Pechey in her workshop, just a short 10-minute drive from the scenic Maleny in Queensland's Sunshine Coast hinterland, Pechey Sandals are perfect for walking. These adjustable sandals become incredibly comfortable after a brief breaking-in period and are built to last for years.

 

Gillian uses premium, hand-selected leather sourced locally from Packers’ Tannery in Nerangba, Queensland, known for its durability and flexibility, originally used for making footballs. To ensure comfort and longevity, regular application of leather dressing is recommended. Available in dark brown and a lighter tan, larger sizes feature 'olympic rubber' for enhanced durability compared to the nora material.

 

Pechey Sandals are ideal for urban strolls and gentle trails, rather than rugged hiking. You can purchase them ready-made at Peace of Green Gallery in Maleny or reach out to Gillian for a custom pair.
