Leather goods manufacturing process
All our leather goods are proudly handmade by skilled craftsmen and women, right here, in England. This process requires expert craftsmanship, patience and time.
Selecting the Leather
We use vegetable-tanned leather from Tuscan tannery Tempesti.
Cutting
The leather is cut into strips which are then cut into the shape of the item being made.
Gluing
To thicken the leather, two layers are glued together.
Detailing
Where relevant, holes are punched, and other details are added.
Edging & painting
The leather edges are painted using a matching colour, and the edges are polished to make them smooth.
Branding
Using a leather embossing machine, branding and other markings are applied to the leather.
Stitching
The component parts are stitched together using nylon thread and special leather sewing machines known as 'flatbed'.
