A little bit about us
Hi, I’m Matt
I am the sole craftsman behind Matt’s Leather Goods, based in Northamptonshire, the centre of leathercraft in England.
Since 2022 I’ve been fostering our little, home-grown leather business in hopes of producing thoughtfully designed leather goods, known to last a lifetime.
Our leather selection:
All of our goods are made using only full-grain, vegetable-tanned leathers. Full-grain referrers to the split of the leather, meaning the full substance of the hide is used, including the very top layer, which is called the grain. The grain is the most durable layer of the leather and contains all of the character developed throughout the animals life.
Most of our leather comes from the Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Tuscany, Italy. We use articles such as Pueblo and Minerva, two gorgeous leathers tanned using methods that are hundreds of years old, utilizing natural and sustainable substances such as tree barks, vegetable oils and animal fats.
Our Packaging:
Our packaging changes over time but currently each good comes in a cotton canvas bag, made here, by my Mum. This is then inside a simple presentation box with a wax seal on the front, ideal as a gift.
