From a young age, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for leather — its rich textures, unique character, and that unmistakable scent of full-grain hide. Whether it was a well-worn wallet, a handcrafted belt, or a classic watch strap, leather has always spoken to me through its timeless quality and natural beauty.

Some of my earliest memories come from my grandfather’s study — the smell of his old leather-topped desk, his worn bureau chair, and that weathered bifold wallet he carried for decades. The patina that developed over the years told its own story — a story of time, care, and craftsmanship. That lasting beauty left a lasting impression on me.

Today, in a world driven by mass production and low-cost convenience, true craftsmanship has become harder to find. Quality has too often been sacrificed for quantity. I’ve decided to change that, even if only in my own small way.

Now, finally in a position to pursue my passion, I’ve dedicated myself to learning, refining, and creating handcrafted premium leather goods — made exclusively from responsibly sourced, full-grain leathers. Each piece is made to last, made with intention, and made for people who value authenticity and enduring quality. Every stitch and cut is done by hand, right here in Britain, with care and attention to every detail.

From humble beginnings, I’ve transformed my 5m x 2m shed into a fully equipped workshop, where I’m continuing to push my skills, take on more complex projects, and grow as a craftsman. My goal is to one day be recognised as a true artisan leatherworker — someone who creates products that age beautifully and tell their own story over time.

 

If you’d like to follow my journey as I master this timeless craft, I’d love for you to join me on my socials and be part of the process.
