Leatherwise

Quality hand crafted leather goods designed and made in Lower Cwmtrwch, Powys, Wales, by Penny & Ian Thyer.

Penny started her career at Reading College of Art & Design, where she soon discovered her thirst for the ‘hands on’ approach of design & make. Ian had worked in the leather industry making shoes and, later, furniture.

Penny & Ian combined their skills, and on moving to Wales in 1988, began to sell their quality hand crafted products.

Their creations are designed and made from the very highest quality, soft leather, making them very tactile. Once Penny has designed an item a pattern is made and Ian then cuts the leather by hand. Penny assembles each creation utilising the strongest nylon bonded thread.

Most of the leather is acquired as off-cuts for manufacturing companies. This helps not only to keep the cost at a minimum, which is reflected in our pricing, but it is also eco friendly.

Our leather goods can be found worldwide and are owned by many prominent people.
