About Philip Hawthorne

Based in Taunton, Somerset, I am a leather craftsman devoted to creating refined luxury leather goods that blend traditional techniques with contemporary design. My passion for craftsmanship was shaped through hands-on experience with a Somerset-based luxury fashion brand, where I developed a deep appreciation for the artistry, precision, and discipline behind exceptional leatherwork.

Over the years, I have refined my skills across every stage of the process from concept development and pattern cutting to the construction of handcrafted wallets, bags, and small leather goods. Working closely with premium materials and time-honoured techniques has allowed me to build a strong foundation rooted in quality, durability, and attention to detail.

What began as a personal passion has grown into a dedicated craft driven by a commitment to timeless design and enduring quality. Every piece I create reflects my belief that true luxury lies in thoughtful craftsmanship, honest materials, and products made to be treasured for years to come.
