Our Leather Craft

Tanneries
We carefully source our leather from Leather Working Group certified tanneries, to ensure they’re as responsible as can be, each piece as hard-wearing — and long-lasting — as the next.

Finishes
After embossing the leather to add the desired effect, our artisans use a special 'tumbling' treatment to bring out the natural grain of the leather, softening the fibres to ensure a luxuriously yielding texture.

Gold Stamping
Carefully arranging each brass typeset into our gold stamping machines, each stamp is aligned to a fraction of a millimetre. Warming the brass to 100C to activate the gold leaf, a gentle press of the machine’s lever begins the embossing process.
