It’s not all belts and card cases round here. We were asked to make a leather hand rail for the recently opened Fence Gate Lodge. Padded with neoprene foam for a luxurious feel and wrapped with leather from @yarwoodleather. Finished of with baseball stitching using ritza tread.

Another unusual project today, recovering a Roberts radio. The top layer of the original vinyl covering had almost completely gone. The leather used was a beautiful cherry coloured skin from @pittards_uk. The last picture shows the old strap and the new hand stitched one.

Used @steppe.oil for the first time yesterday, on our work/tote bag. It’s a lovely product, its a mix of olive oil and bees wax, all natural. It nourishes the leather, protects and gives it a subtle sheen. And as a bonus it makes your hands feel great! L… bit.ly/2stPJRx

I was recently asked to design and make this menus for Wills barrowford. Plywood boards with a 2mm rebate to give a nice smooth transition to the leather covers. The boards were made by Hutchinson’s, and finished by us. The leather covers are Yarwood Leather anthracite leather.

People often ask what how logos are pressed into the leather. There are a few different ways of making the plates for debossing leather but the most cost effective for small runs is to get these magnesium plates made by centuriongraphics. #madeinbritain #handmade #leather

Made in Great Britain, Stitched by hand. That’s the way we like it. As far as possible everything we use in our products come from these shores. Where it’s not possible the best quality materials we can find are sourced from elsewhere. #leather #handstitched #madeinbritain

We don’t always appreciate the things we see every day. We are based in a mill built in 1842 as its national mills weekend, we thought we would share a few photos of interest bits from around the mill. #heritage #mill #nationalmillsweekend #cotton #spinning #weaving #leather
