Handmade, Repurposed, Leatherwork Studio.
Hello I am Caroline, leathersmith and maker, passionate about repurposing old materials. I design and create a collection of bags and accessories using vintage saddlery leather and military canvas.
Entirely handmade and finished in my Somerset studio, each piece is made from repurposed vintage saddle leather, worn and aged to perfection over decades of use.
With a strong focus on fine craft and sustainability, I take pride in working with almost exclusively repurposed materials - which have character and soul. Each piece I create is unique, carrying its own indelible story.
I use traditional leather-working tools and each item is Saddle Stitched entirely by hand the old fashioned way.
Designed and crafted to be worn every day and taken everywhere - our hand stitched saddle leather bags are built to last a lifetime. They will only improve with age and use.
Accept no imitations.
