My workshop can be found in a town on the North Yorkshire coast, amidst wild moorland and sheer cliff faces, where the land truly meets the sea. 

I have always had a passion for quality in every facet of life, brought up by a family firmly rooted in the crafts. As a Master Engraver, my Grandad taught me the importance of lasting work, maintaining a belief to this day that his work will speak for itself when we have all left this earth. To me, an heirloom must be enduring, unique and adaptive. Leather facilitates all of these requirements, thus inspired I decided to take up the craft of leatherwork on a budget, and sought out every ounce of information that I could absorb. As my passion grew rapidly, my budget followed slowly. 3 years later, I am finally making my work more widely available.

I began and continue on as a small, one man business, learning the craft and searching for the origins of quality leatherwork. Over time these skills were both discovered and taught to me, and the works that I offer are entirely my own with modern form and classic function. 

I work solely with world class leathers from the most prestigious tanneries, nothing but the best raw materials for the greatest final products for my customers. 

Thank you for joining me here, and rest assured that you will leave equipped with a piece of true Northern craftsmanship. Your support and interest is invaluable.
