welcome to anvil leather

Anvil Leather combines the luxury of bespoke, skilfully crafted products with the ethical and affordable sustainability of reclaimed, natural materials.

The maker

one maker, one straw bale workshop

All Anvil products are designed and hand built by Ben Hollings, at his self-built straw bale workshop in Lancashire. Each item is designed and built with precision and care to ensure durability as well as individual beauty.

Anvil Leather gives a new life to overlooked yet readily available natural materials, otherwise likely to be destined for landfill. The range of products is rarely limited by the availability of reclaimed materials, and ranges from larger practical items such as bespoke furniture down to beautifully personalised watch straps, belts, handbags, wallets, satchels, dog collars, bookmarks and phone cases.

Reclaimed materials

every mark tells a story

Where suitable, the markings or natural patina of reclaimed materials can be worked into product designs, allowing for a sense of traditional functional history as well as a wonderful individuality.

Due to the handmade nature of each creation, customers can have as much or as little input as they desire into the specification of any new items. Please do not hesitate to contact Ben via email or phone should you wish to make an enquiry. He is a lovely chap.
