Our bench in Fitzroy
Useful things, kept in use.
Last & Lane is a neighbourhood repair desk built around the simple idea that familiar things are worth tending.
One careful look
We do not start with a catalogue of fixes. We start with the item: its leather, its construction and the way it has aged. Some pairs need a quick practical repair. Others need more time, or are better left alone. A candid assessment is part of the service, because a repair should make sense for the object and for the person using it.
Street-level repair
Our Brunswick Street shop is designed for drop-ins. You can bring a worn heel on your lunch break, leave a bag for attention, or talk through a sole before the weather turns. The work is local, hands-on and paced around a real repair bench-not a dispatch queue. We want collection to be as easy as arrival.
Less replacement
Repair is not about making every item new. It is about extending the useful life of a shoe or leather piece with the right work at the right time. Visible character often remains, and that is fine with us. We aim for a sound, tidy result that lets a well-loved item continue its ordinary life.

Come in with the pair.
We are open Monday to Saturday in Fitzroy. No booking is needed for an initial assessment.
