A little bit about me
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 working on this home-grown leather business in hopes of producing thoughtfully designed leather goods, known to last a lifetime.
leather selection:
All of the goods are made exclusively with 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 the leather I use comes from the Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Tuscany, Italy. My personal favourites include 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.
Packaging:
My packaging changes over time and between products, but, currently each good comes in a presentation box, tied with string, inside a padded envelope.
Lead times:
Currently, lead times are up to 10 working days. Often though, orders will be completed within a few days of receipt. Leather goods require a slow and steady approach to ensure everything is just right and I believe they are always worth the wait.
