We’re always looking for ways to be more sustainable, because it’s already at the core of what we do. Our leather bags have always been made from natural hides, which are a product of livestock farming, and which would have otherwise gone to waste.
Our products are proudly made in England, where tradition, skill, and attention to detail come together.
We work closely with talented artisans who bring generations of expertise to every piece. Each stage of the making process is handled with care, giving our products their distinctive character and lasting quality.

"I came across this shop while I was visiting London. This was my must visit spot because of the lovely backpacks they have. The lady was zo kind to help me pick and choose my backpack. Glad I bought this one and took it with me to Belgium. So happy with my small backpack."
"I bought this backpack and have been using it almost every day. It's really stylish and classic in person. And I was surprised at how lightweight it was. I usually carry books, a wallet, a tumbler, a keychain pouch, and it's just the right size. Since it's a backpack, it's not a burden. I even wear it to the library with my kids, and it's great because it frees up both hands. There were two things I was disappointed with. First, the shoulder strap creaks loudly, which bothered me when I walked through the library or a quiet bookstore. Second, I wish the shoulder strap was a bit longer so I could neatly attach the remaining strap to the bag. Every time I use this bag, I'm amazed by its sophisticated design and feel happy. I plan to wear this bag for a long time and pass it down to my children."
"Sooooo love it. Will make my Lunar New Year look awesome!"
"Great!"
"I LOVE this leather backpack. I wasn't too sure about the size but it's just what I needed. Fits my iPad and all the usual handbag needs: makeup, sunglasses, purse, keys etc. It gets a lot of compliments (not that I'm surprised by that!). Really beautiful craftsmanship and with the brown colour, it can be worn dressed up (smart, for work) or down (jeans and a tshirt). My only snag is the straps are on the smaller side and can pinch a little, but overall, I recommend it and might just get myself a second one in another colour come pay day!"
"minimalist, classy and precious."
"Excellent piece of work and craftmanship. My daughter absolutely loves it."
"Absolutely love this backpack."
"Great backpack but the company doesn’t give free returns for US customers"
"The backpack is crafted from premium leather and has an ample main compartment, considering the size, that allows you to keep many items, while the exterior pocket provides space for small essentials. I always carry what I need without any issue. Truly beautiful backpack, love the leather texture and the finish. The handcraft is impeccable. I always, always get one or more compliments from people when I wear it. I also have 3 more colors in my collection and planning to have more, this how much I love this product."
