Our workshop is based in Dumfries & Galloway, in the south west of Scotland

Each item is designed, hand cut and crafted in Scotland from top grade British sourced hides - a side product from the meat industry

All production is done in-house using a mix of traditional methods and modern low waste techniques. Materials and tools are sourced locally where possible. We primarily use natural Veg Tan leather where tree bark is used to tan and preserve the leather

Leather craft involves cutting, sewing (often hand stitching), dyeing, lining, hole punching and generally fashioning your piece of hide into bags, belts, aprons, tool wraps, dog collars, wallets, book covers etc.

We specialise in custom commissions. Please head to the contact page to get in touch for a consultation.

Kind Regards
