My mission is to create an item that you love and will use for many years to come. I'm always happy to chat about the many options in leather, thread colour, dye colour, buckle styles, fitting finishes, etc., that are available.
​
It's truly impossible to list all the many variants here on the website, so if you have an idea for a unique piece or would simply like a different style of buckle please do get in touch to discuss the options, often simple changes and be made at no extra cost.
Natural Vegetable Tanned Leather
Natural Vegetable tanning uses natural materials like tree bark used in the tanning process, making it more Eco Friendly than commonly used Chrome tanned leather.
Handmade
Handmade using traditional tools & techniques. Most process are carried out without the use of any electrical equipment. Leather and most other materials are carefully sourced from within the UK
Hand Stitched
Hand stitched using traditional saddle stitch. Saddle stitch is stronger and more durable than machine stitching.

Visitors are very welcome at the workshop here in Fetlar, one of Shetland's north isles. Visitors will be able to see first hand items being made using traditional tools and methods, and be able to browse items for sale.

Visitors are always welcome to the workshop at anytime, but due covid restrictions and our crofting lifestyle it is best to book a time slot to avoid disappointment.
