We have been making leather goods here in Liverpool, England since the 1960s. From the start we have cared as much about where our materials come from as how we work with them. Provenance matters. It gives each bag its story, its heritage.
We always support British tanneries and suppliers whenever we can. The truth is that unfortunately some of the supplies we need are simply not made in the UK anymore. If we can’t find a UK manufacturer, then we turn to producers in Europe, many of whom are family businesses themselves and have been producing ethically manufactured goods with full traceability for decades.
As we’ve said, much of what we use still comes from close to home. We get our leathers from England, Scotland and Europe. We buy hardware from Manchester and Cheshire. Many of the tools we use are made by our team or made locally to our specifications. We do what we can, but sometimes it is simply impossible for us to avoid going further afield.
