I use the finest full grain leather. Unlike most shop-bought products, vegetable tanning uses atureal tannins found in bark, fruit and leaves. This gentle method allows the leather to continue to absorb water and oils throughout its lifetime, developing a rich patina with use. It is slow, tradition, sustainable and leaves the leather with the most delicious look, smell and feel.

​

All RBL pieces are solely made by hand. The patterns are hand drawn and prototyped; the leather is cut by hand and every stitch is made individually.

​

To ensure the items are strong and durable, I use traditional saddle stitching. Waxed linen thread with a needle at either end is passed through the leather, creating a line of tiny knots.

Leather is happy in all elements, although it is a good idea to store it somewhere dark and dry. Every so often, clean with a little saddle soap or feed with a leather conditioner, helping to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out.

Unless you have selected a Ready to Ship item, your piece will be made to order - a lead time will be provided when you have placed your order.
