A Family Workshop Making Leather Goods by Hand
Since 2014 we have designed and handcrafted full grain leather goods built to be used every day, and to get better every year.
From a passion project to a full-time craft
We are not a factory or a faceless brand. We are a small, family-run workshop with a big love for leather.
Every product starts with a story. It might be an old tool belt in a grandfather's shed, or the feel of a well-worn leather apron passed down through the years. What began as a passion project became a full-time craft, and today we make leather aprons, golf bags, bags, hunting and shooting gear, leather garments and much more.
“Real leather does not just serve a purpose. It grows with you, getting softer, richer and more uniquely yours over time.”
Crafted by hand, not by machine
Every piece is cut, stitched, shaped and finished by skilled craftsmen whose skills have been passed down through generations.
Select the leather
We choose full grain leather, the strongest and longest-lasting part of the hide.
Cut by hand
Each panel is cut by hand, so the grain and character of the leather are used well.
Stitch and assemble
Every stress point is reinforced, and fitted with solid buckles, rivets and zips.
Finish and check
We finish the edges, inspect every piece and photograph it for your approval.
Made to last, not to replace
Full grain leather
The toughest grade of leather, which develops a rich patina with use.
Reinforced stitching
Every stress point is stitched to take years of real-world use.
Quality hardware
Solid buckles, rivets, zips and D-rings that will not let you down.
Kinder tanning
We choose slower, more natural tanning methods over the cheap, fast drum process.
Photo approval on every order
This is the part our customers love most. Before your order leaves our workshop, we photograph your actual item and send you the photos. It only ships once you are happy with it, so there are no surprises when the parcel arrives.
- We make your item by hand
- We send you photos of the finished piece
- You approve it, and we ship it tracked and duty-paid
