Next Date at Netil Market

Due to unforeseen circumstances I wont be at Netil Market in August but will be back in September.  I'll update with dates soon.

Leather Key Fobs

New Leather Key Fobs with a trigger hook.  The leather loop undoes so it is able to wrap around a belt loop for example.  Leather is Italian Veg Tanned Shoulder.

Come down for handmade belts, wallets and keyfobs.  New products are being developed and the next to come along are zip pouches made from Italian Shoulder Leather

Update to my Netil Market return

There has been an update as to when I will be back at Netil Market.  I will now be there on Saturday 6th July and will this page updated to which following dates I'll be there.

Networking event - Cambridge Satchel Company

I attended a great networking event which Maggie Semple Ltd hosted on Thursday 20th June.  Julie Deane founder of the very successful Cambridge Satchel Company spoke about her career journey and I gained further insight to the company.  It was really interesting to hear and great to meet her in person afterwards!

New products in development

Being at Netil Market has been an invaluable source of research and finding out what it is that customers want.  Having a card holder where you can fit a number of cards and notes is one of the key products that customers want.  In development at the moment is a card holder with a gusset/larger pocket in which to fit the numerous cards that people now have.

This will be ready in time for me returning to Netil Market at the end of June.

Netil Market - returning at the end of June

After a successful selling period at Netil Market during May I hope to return on the last Saturday in June and make it a bi-weekly slot.  Come down and visit me, there will be new products on offer including updates to the card holders and key holders / rings.

Netil Market

I was at Netil Market (Westgate Street, E8) on Saturday 4th May and the first week went well!  I'll be there for the next three Saturday's in May (11th, 18th and 25th May) selling belts and wallets primarily. If you have new product ideas or there is something you would like but can't please come down and ask me.

My stall will gradually grow and develop week by week so keep checking in.

Leather Box and Case Making course @ Cumbria School of Saddlery

I went to the Cumbria School of Saddlery www.saddlerycourses.com in April to learn the traditional skills of leather box and case making.  It was a 3 day intensive course but I loved every minute of it and have come away with invaluable skills all taught by a master saddler!  Learning in a converted cow shed over looking the Lake District makes it even more worthwhile.

Warkworth Bag order

I took my first order for the Warkworth Bag last month from being at the Muswell Hill market!  The Warkworth bags are on a made to order service and I sent this out to a very happy lady in Sweden just before Easter.  Photo's of the bag before the parcel was sealed....

Selling at Netil Market, Hackney in May

My next market will be Netil Market in Hackney on the four Saturday's in May (4th, 11th, 18th and 25th).  I will have my leather accessories on sale but I will also be offering a strap service.  More details to follow soon...
