Bespoke hand crafted leather goods made in Fetlar, Shetland Islands.
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.
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
All items are hand stitched using traditional saddle stitch. Saddle stitch is stronger and more durable than machine stitching.
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.
