We specialise in custom hand crafted artisanal leather watch straps, wallets and belts. No machinery is used in the production of our leather goods. They are made using the finest hides from British, Italian and American tanneries and are made entirely by hand - hand cut, hand saddle stitched with twin needles and the edges are hand finished and finally burnished by hand to a lustre.
At a time when most purchased items have a planned obsolescence that has unfortunately replaced quality, and where machines have displaced hands, our priority is to create a handmade bespoke product that you will be proud to own for many, many years to come.
We can make you a completely bespoke handmade leather strap for your watch, and have previously made straps for clients with watches such as Rolex, Tag Heuer, Omega, IWC, Bremont, Cartier, Zenith, Tudor, Blancpain, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Graham, Eterna, Longines, Breitling, Panerai, Damasko, Sinn, U-Boat etc.
It's your watch strap - you decide how it will best compliment or accent your timepiece. A host of options are available. Additionally to the leather selected, lug width and strap length, options can include:
Lugs: Straight or Curved
Stitching: Design, Colour & Size
Edges: Raw, Dyed, Burnished or Painted
Fastening: Buckle or Deployant
Lining: Goat or Calf
Some of our more requested designs are available to order in our webshop. However, if you can't find your perfect bespoke strap then please contact us for a personalised quotation.

For the majority of our belts we use the best English Bridle leather from the famous Sedgwicks & Co Tannery.
Each belt is cut, saddle stitched and the edges burnished by hand. When complete the belt is hand buffed with a protective layer of wax.
Should you require a belt with a slightly more 'vintage' look we have sourced some beautiful vegetable tanned leather from Italy. This leather has an instantly more lived in look and also has a softer temper (feel).
Buckles are sourced from a foundry based in Walsall in the UK which has been casting buckles and leather bridle hardware for almost two centuries.
Our belts are produced in 1" and 1 1/2" widths, and in whichever length you require.
Some of our more requested combinations are available to order in our webshop. However, if you can't find your perfect bespoke belt then please contact us for a personalised quotation.
Our handmade wallets and cardholders are made from the same beautiful Vegetable Tanned leathers that we use for our watch straps. With continued use they will take on a patina completely individual to you.
Due to the many layers in the construction of these items the leather is usually skived down in thickness so as to reduce the bulk in pocket.
From a simple business card holder to a more complex jacket wallet with additional pockets, we can produce a design to meet your individual requirements.
Our wallets and cardholders are sized to accept standard UK currency notes, credit / business cards, however if you require different sizes this can easily be achieved.

Our handmade diary and field note covers are made with similar Vegetable Tanned leather to our other items, although usually we use a slightly thicker hide. With continued use they will take on an individual colour and patina specific to you.
Our pocket diary covers are sized to accept Collins Elite Pocket (Week to View) refills and our field note covers are sized for Moleskine Cahiers journals.
If you require alternative sizes please let us know.

Just because a key fob is diminutive in stature doesn't mean it's inconsequential. We use them every day, they identify and protect our most prized possessions.
As with all our items, they're made with the finest leather and the same attention to detail we make all our items with.
If you you have an alternative design in mind or would like a fob colour matched to your car or interior please get in touch so that we can can create it for you.
You may find after having a custom made watch strap your other wrist is feeling neglected - why not treat yourself to one of our artisanal cuffs or bracelets.
