Tanners since 1938

Made in England

I was very impressed with the leathers and your general approach to tanning.  It was very inspiring - we're hoping to head in this artistic and sustainable direction with our renewed brand

Anon.

I must convey to you our utmost delight & satisfaction at seeing all the samples that we have received from you.Every article has been shipped exactly as I had been shown at the Lineapelle in terms of color, tanning or finishing & hand feel. We have rarely had this experience, especially when it concerns so many articles at one time.

For me your leathers were really the "best of show" at the fair.
