This all started with a growing obsession with bags… trying to find the right bag for the right situation.
This led to making bags using different materials, some successful and some not. Then after attending a leatherwork course about 4 years ago all hell broke loose and now we’re full on living and breathing the leather-working dream!
Everything we make is hand-made, hand-cut, hand-sewn & hand-finished. No laser cutting. No machine sewing. Our only concession is that sometimes we might use a Dremel tool for sanding & polishing.
Wherever possible we try to repurpose & reuse beautifully aged leather, end of line pieces and remnants to create original & exclusive bags, hats & accessories – leather from old horse tack makes fabulous straps & handles that compliment our commissioned pieces well. We don’t make it all unduly fanciful; we don’t add shiny bits & pieces to make it all look expensive. First & foremost, we make things that fit their purpose in the best design possible.
Pricing is always a difficult one & we do try to keep our prices reasonable. The price reflects the unique design of the piece, the leather used to create it & the time it takes to cut, sew & finish the product. We make samples & develop prototypes as a starting point to help us create the item you want. You might want a different strap, more pockets, less pockets, a larger closing buckle, a weird colour or any number of other things.
We love making items from our customer’s designs… so if it’s a handbag, shopping bag, an urban backpack, a pirate hat or a stylish briefcase we are here, needles poised!
