PLEASE NOTE

I have now accepted orders for all my remaining stocks of raw materials and intend to retire when I have completed and delivered them. So I have removed all the order buttons. I still have the equipment and premises and am happy to do any repair work.

I would like to express my boundless appreciation to all my customers – particularly the ‘returning’ ones – for allowing me to make a living from such a pleasurable activity.

But there is every possibility that later next year I will want to make a few articles for my more persistent customers so have decided to start a ‘reserve list’ for customers who might want me to contact them in this event.

I really enjoy making leather bags and am still able to do that well enough. It’s keeping all the small business plates spinning that I feel too old to do anymore.

If you would like to go on that reserve list then please email me.

Colour Choices

Satchels

This is the current range of satchel leathers I have in stock. If you have a particular choice then please indicate in the ADDITIONAL EXTRAS part of the order form.

Woods Light Brown

Has an ‘antique’ finish roughly equivalent to the leather version of ‘stone washed’ denim. Informal. Casual.

Woods Gingerbread

Has an ‘antique’ finish roughly equivalent to the leather version of ‘stone washed’ denim. Casual. Informal. And with a softer (more flexible) handle. Floppy. Funky.

Woods Brandy

Smoother. More formal.

Dark Brown Calf

Very strong. Smart. It is unusual to get calf skin made to satchel thickness. Limited supply. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

Dark Brown Latigo

From horween.com. The best satchel leather I have ever worked with. Smart. ‘Lifetime’ quality. But very expensive (sorry) so it carries a £30 surcharge. If you want the best I can do then it will be money well spent in the long term.

Italiano Latigo

Dark Brown Country Cow

Has an ‘antique’ finish roughly equivalent to the leather version of ‘stone washed’ denim. Informal. Casual.
