Coterie Leather

Coterie Leather Luxury leather bags, handcrafted from the finest ethically sourced leather. Beautifully soft and ful Each one individually made so no one item is ever the same.

Handmade leather bags and accessories made from the finest leather, simple and functional pieces that are skillfully designed and made with great attention to detail. Inspired by the natural qualities of leather hide I use this as the basis for my work. The leather I use are generally offcuts from the furniture industry and I try to use salvaged and found items turning them into beautiful details. Most can be made to order and enquiries for commissions are welcome, please just ask.

Then, off the back of that (thinking I was going to get a week of R&R in to recover) I was approached by the events team that organises these launches to do something special for the SV 'Ultra' event with less than a two week deadline. Top secret for a few more days so more on that later in the week...

Quite a lot of thought went into these keyfobs, including colour matching to the SV leather interior. All in all there were 12 stages to craft the keyfob from start to finish, from cutting, embossing with the SV logo, gluing, marking, pricking, stitching, edging, burnishing etc... all by hand. Was also asked to demo the handcrafting process at the launch party, and personalise the keyfobs for the invited guests. Had a que most of the evening, but did manage to snaffle a few cocktails towards the end 😊

I've been really bad at posting lately, but the last 6 weeks have been a mad whirlwind, so here's a little recap...
I was asked by Sinclair Landrover's Swansea showroom to make 120 hand stitched key fobs for the launch of the Range Rover latest model, the SV. With less than three weeks with a bank holiday in the middle, plus a custom made press knife not turning up so I had to hand cut each one 😱 it was a tall order, but with a little help and a few late nights just about made the launch party, see next post...

Do you make baskets, but want to learn how to make beautiful fastenings & straps? Then this is definitely the course for you! In collaboration with Pembrokeshire Willow & Wool at Bryn a Môr Farm in beautiful Marros, Pendine, I'll be teaching you everything you need to know on a one day workshop tailored specifically for basketmakers, but also if you just want to make lovely straps and handles for things.

In a small group you’ll learn the basics of leatherwork, to include types of leather suitable for different applications, focusing on vegetable tanned leather. You’ll learn where to source the leather, tools required, and all the techniques – cutting, edging & burnishing. You’ll be taught about fixing hardware, and the different techniques for riveting etc. Materials are included in the price, and lunch is even provided! Saturday 30th May, I think there are 2 spaces left. To book go to

Using every bit of the hide. The Raw Edge Leather Bag, my signature style as well as most popular seller. This one is a custom made size with added zip pocket, which goes right through the brand mark. Usually regarded as waste it would be such a shame to waste an otherwise perfectly usable part of the hide just because of a bit of provenance.

I totally forgot to post about this backpack I was prototyping for a Christmas present last year, but back working on some new features this week. Still a few details to iron out, and I know quite a few of you have been very patiently waiting for this to happen, so busy making progress.
