Key Cutting at the Market

Published 22 January 2025
This month we caught up with Priya from Faslini Leather Travel Goods who, as the name suggest, not only specialise in quality leather and travel goods but also provide a fast and convenient key cutting service at the Market.

Since 1996, Faslini Leather Travel Goods has become a renowned luggage store in South Melbourne. What started out as a leather goods store has now become a 'one-stop-shop' for all your travel needs. Whether it's an umbrella for rainy Melbourne mornings or a reliable suitcase for that long-awaited vacation you've been looking forward to, Priya and the team at Faslini have you covered. And while they may be best known for their leather and travel goods, Faslini also offer the very convenient service of onsite key cutting.

It may come as a surprise to some, but this service has been provided by Faslini for almost 30 years. "We have been the local key cutting destination for more than three decades. We cut a range of house keys, car keys, letter box keys and more!"

Generally, it takes only a minute or so to cut a key. It is matching the profile that takes more time than key cutting itself, especially with some of the unusual keys. Priya suggests it's always best to come in with your original keys and let the team at Faslini have a look at it, as most keys are able to be cut except restricted keys that have 'do not copy' written on them.

In addition to key cutting, Faslini provides a huge range of leather bags for men and women, wallets, toiletry bags, suitcases & duffels, kids backpacks, shopping trolleys, travel accessories, umbrellas, leather belts and leather gloves.

Compared to other retailers, Faslini's carefully curated product range offers customers the ability to attain functionality and versatility while staying trendy. 

Faslini's background in manufacturing and knowledge of changing market trends, helps to offer a wide range of products that can cater to the needs of both budget friendly travelers and travel connoisseurs who need specific gear for their next adventure. "Great service begins with great people and industry experience, which is why our staff is made up of the best and most qualified in the business." 

"Being an immigrant who came to this country in my early twenties, South Melbourne and its community has been monumental in giving me a sense of belonging and being able to give back to the local community is gratifying. I cherish the beautiful relationship I share with my customers and some of the stall holders at the market."

Faslini Leather and Travel Goods are committed to offering quality products, unparalleled service and the most competitive prices in town. "We're proud to have created a generation of happy customers and look forward to continuing our work for years to come!"

You can find Faslini in Aisle B, Stall 70. Open every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8am.
