Leo Alexander is a Master Saddler and member of the Society of Master Saddlers. Leo trained as a Bespoke Saddle and Harness maker, achieving Level III City & Guilds in all three disciplines (Bridle, Saddle and Harness) in 1994
Leo has been running his Saddlery business (L.C. Wright Saddlery) since 1991, initially specialising in Equestrian related products. Due to customer requests, a natural artistic flair and an inquisitive nature, Leo’s love of working with Leather found his business diversifying into more artistic and unusual leather goods.
With this diversification came the need to split the original business and form a company specifically aimed at the Interior Design Market and the more discerning clientele.
These high quality and unique items include: Leather trunks, Lamp stands, Log baskets, Leather pales, Leather vases, Jugs and Drinking vessels, Briefcases, Hat boxes, Hand bags, Belts and Dog collars & leads.
Bespoke items made to a customer’s own specification are easily catered for, emphasizing that personal and individual touch.

Swaine Adeney Brigg
Swaine Adeney Brigg - London's celebrated maker of equestrian & leather goods since 1750. The luxury lifestyle store beloved by business travellers.
In 1893, Thomas Brigg and Sons received its first Royal Appointment from Her Majesty Queen Victoria - the first umbrella maker to be thus honoured. Further Royal Appointments followed and are held today.
The original and the first Indy hat still made today
Since the huge success of the Indiana Jones films, we have had the pleasure of making dozens of Indy's for fans of both Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford.
Each Indiana Jones hat is carefully cut by hand, using the original patterns. Each size is ever so slightly tailored to keep the hat in proportion to the wearer's hat size and each Indy hat is hand-rubbed to give it its unique shape.

Chapman bags - travel, leisure, business and sporting bags and accessories
John Chapman makes hand crafted bags for travel, leisure, business and sporting activities. Our customers appreciate the contemporary approach we bring to classic English style and quality, as well as our personal attention to customer service.
The company has been established for many years in Cumbria, England. The natural beauty of the surrounding Lake District and Borders has provided much of the inspiration for our bags.
We are one of the last remaining companies to make our bags exclusively in the UK in our own workshops. We also insist on only using materials of the highest quality, wherever possible from natural sources. Why do we do this?
First, we want to ensure the highest possible product quality; around 80% of the direct manufacturing cost of our bags is accounted for by the materials which go into making the bag.
Second, we believe our customers like to know that their bag was made by craftsmen and women without using harmful chemicals and in a responsible environment.
Third, we do not make throw away products. Customers sometimes send us their bags after many years' hard use for us to renew or repair because they have formed a personal bond with that bag. We can do this for them because we make the bags ourselves, instead of sourcing them from overseas.

Mossman Trunks & Luggage
Protection is a state of mind and Mossman trunks are built to provide peace of mind. Each trunk is hand made in the UK from high quality plywood, and then bonded with either a covering of PVC or Aluminium. The plywood panels are assembled with PVC edging and extrusions using special bifurcated rivets producing a permanent and durable fixing. External hardware such as protective corners, handles and hinges are riveted for added security. The majority of fittings and fastenings are finished in brass effect plating. All Mossman trunks are designed for hard use and will happily secure your valuables for worldwide shipping, cruising, school and university. It doesn't stop there though; Mossman trunks have also been spotted in use by musicians, performers, and even companies who regularly attend exhibitions.http://www.londonluggage.co.uk/search-by-brand/mossman/
