Creating the Truly Bespoke
Leathercraft has been a passion of mine for years and over that time I've learned where to source the best quality hides, hardware and threads. My aim is to work with you, the customer, and bring all of these elements together to design and create a truly bespoke one of a kind item that will last a lifetime.
All my work is hand stitched which takes a lot longer than a machine but the end result is stitching that is more robust and more aesthetically pleasing.
Leather
I try to source only from English, American & Italian tanneries and use only vegetable tanned leather. Vegetable tanned leather uses organic matter in the tanning process, e.g tree bark, as opposed to chrome tanned leather which uses chromium salts. It is a process that goes back centuries and is environmentally friendly. Over time veg tanned leather products develop a beautiful patina and if cared for will last a lifetime.
Hardware
I use brass & nickel hardware sourced within the UK but of course I can also work with any hardware you may already have or have seen elsewhere.
