Natural Materials, Traditional Methods

We only use quality full-grain leather that lasts years, and ages with character. We don't use toxic chrome-tanned, budget grade 'genuine leather', or cheap plastic bonded 'leather' used by the mass market and many designer brands already flooding the marketplace, and inevitably end up in landfill.

Instead, we source the best vegetable-tanned leather from certified artisan tanneries, all produced by hand the traditional way with natural dyes made from tree bark and plants. Natural oils and waxes may also be added by hand to provide different finishes and properties to the leather.

We only stitch our leather goods by hand, with care and patience. We never mass-produce, or use cheap unwaxed machine thread that means an item can start to fall apart within months of regular use.

Instead, we apply the time-honoured craft of saddle-stitching with waxed thread to give you a piece that is individually made, attractive, and will outlast mass-produced leather goods by many years.
