I've managed to get a good few things off of eBay to build my own starter kit for around £25 ($40):

6 square feet of 4oz "charcoal" dyed leather
5 yards of white linen thread
5 yards of black linen thread
Clicker (punch) awl
2mm 6 prong pricking iron
10 needles
Groover/edge beveller for 45 degree angles
Rubber cement

Just enough to get me started on stitching things together :)

The leather was cheap, the tools were not :gonk: but once I get better and even more tools such as the swivel knife I can upgrade to full hides and dying things myself.

There's also a Tandy leather factory in the UK which should make things easier.
