With a number of high quality offerings from knife sheaths, bags and belts, to masks and corsets, Osborne Leatherwork produce high quality leather goods designed for today’s buyer with consideration to the past and the skilled leather working techniques employed for thousands of years.
I use vegetable tanned leather and natural linen threads, most products are hand dyed with care to make the best of the leather and its natural variations: the patina of a good product starts on the day it is produced and in the methods used.
Please look around and, hopefully, find something to inspire you!
About Osborne Leatherwork
Formed in early October 2011, Osborne Leatherwork is my endeavour to produce exciting new products in a way that takes full advantage of the natural materials available to me as an individual leather worker.
I share a workshop with my mentor, Mr Andy Bates, a highly talented and skilled leather worker and archaeologist who taught me a large proportion of what I know about my craft and Rob Ford, apprentice to Andy and Tolkien afficianado.
We sit in a second floor studio with views over Hexham Market Place toward Hexham Abbey: a stimulating and vibrant part of a beautiful market town, well worth a visit and you can call into our studios almost every day to see first hand how the work is produced and place your orders in person if you prefer.
