About Arbee Craft
The Arbee Business began in 1902. The owner Mr. R.B.Stevens, a leather merchant, started the business to sell his leather items.
The original Arbee business, shop and factory, was in Swanston Street, Melbourne.
By the 1930s Arbee had expanded to make the famous Arbee moccasins. These became well known as they had durable cowhide on the outside and a layer of lambswool on the inside. Arbee made the moccasins for many years and the kits were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. During this time Arbee diversified with some other products that were popular e.g. cane items.
