Fine Leather Craftsmenship

MacGregor and Michael have an international reputation as designers and makers of fine, high quality hand-stitched leather goods. We also run training courses for those wishing to learn how to make hand stitched leathergoods. Go to leathercourses.co.uk for details.

We have been designing and making leather goods for over 50 years. We are not a factory, but a workshop based in the English countryside, where everything is made by hand.  A good deal of our time is spent seeking out producers of lovely leathers, strong lining fabrics, well finished metal fittings and the very best threads. We do this to ensure that our leathergoods are made from the very highest standard materials available.
We sometimes work with other artisans, collaborating on designs or commissioning pieces for a specific project.
The techniques we use have been tried and tested over time. Hand stitching is strong. Finishing cut edges with burnishing, protects the stitches thereby extending the life of the item. Small leather goods and bags made from skins may require the edges to be turned or bound so careful judgements are made about thicknesses and stitch size to ensure strength is not compromised.
