Whether you're creating a handmade bag for yourself or as a special gift, our leather handles will add a touch of luxury and sophistication to your creation.
Each handle is carefully crafted from a British tanned, high-quality oak tanned leather and finished with durable solid brass hardware, ensuring they will withstand the test of time.
If you want to be very fancy why not add your own initials too!
With solid brass rivets and leather washer backs provided, this pack will ensure a sturdy and secure fitting to your bag. Simply mark and punch the holes on your bag, pop the handle, bag and rear washer onto the rivet before riveting the handles into place.
About the leather:
Cut using traditional hand tools from a 4-4.5mm thick oak tanned hide from the last remaning British oak tannery. It takes over 14 months to make this stunning leather before it's finished with a special blend of oils and greases, which bring out the natural colour and qualities in this fabulous leather.
Oak Bark Tanning is a long, gentle process that protects the natural fibres of the hide, unlike modern tanning methods. Using only water from the stream that flows alongside the tannery, oak bark sourced from trees coppiced in the Lake District and Wales, and the best local Devon cow hides, the tannage takes 14 months to produce the leather. The tan pits are constantly agitated by an ancient waterwheel.
