At my North London Studio I repair and restore leather items that are made with veg tan leather.
I also make beautiful, durable, bespoke leather goods, using traditional saddlery tools and techniques. All created with the highest quality craftsmanship, products include briefcases, satchels, handbags, belts, card holders, pet collars and leads.

4 January 2023 at 11 AMSteph did an absolutely amazing job completely remaking two leather and metal 1970s directors chairs which were badly damaged in a flood.
She sent us a few leather samples and was very patient with discussing the detail of how she would renovate our family heirloom chairs.
The finished product was just fantastic in every way and were completed in just a couple of weeks.
I can’t recommend her highly enough as a competent and highly skilled professional.

29 December 2022 at 12 PMSteph restored an aniline leather chair that had been damaged by rainwater. She worked very diligently and patiently on the chair and I am very pleased with the results, particularly as I had been told by other companies that restoration of aniline leather may be difficult or not possible. Steph also supplied advice on how to look after the chair going forward.

8 August 2022 at 6 PMSteph did a wonderful job on a vintage leather folding chair that I inherited, original stitching had started to go and leather had taken a bit of a beating. I felt very comfortable leaving it in her hands and was really pleased with the result. Wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

4 March 2022 at 11 AMWhat a find!I struggle to add to the comments other reviwers have left. I have a ’70s leather sling chair that required a full restoration. Steph’s finished article was better than the original I had bought. I recall her telling me that the stitching required was new to her, so went the extra mile to teach herself the method required.

4 March 2022 at 9 AMSteph did an amazing and very sensitive restoration on a valuable, vintage Safari chair. Many antique dealers use her as the go-to restorer for quality pieces and it is obvious why.

3 March 2022 at 9 PMSteph was an absolute professional and the quality of her work second to none. She renewed the leather on our dining chairs and she helped us select the best hide and discussed every detail with us. I would definitely recommend her work and we’ll be working with her again in the future.

3 March 2022 at 7 PMProbably Londons best saddler. Although she actually did 2 leather sling chairs for me amongst other things, her work was exceptional. If only I had a horse.
