My name is Kingsley and I am the craftsman behind Kingsley Leather. Like so many others I had an office-bound day job where I spent a lot of my time in front of a computer screen. I wanted a 'manly' craft that would take me away from a computer but also creatively challenge me. What inspired me to take up leatherworking in particular was that I have always admired leather goods and how they gain c

haracter as they age, think old leather suitcases and satchels. However the cheap mass-produced imports from countries outside of England never seemed to last as long as I expected - I was changing my wallet every 6 months for example! I decided that I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone: create the quality leather goods that I desired for myself and a pursue new non-computer based hobby. After a couple of months of practising, my work began to get noticed by friends and family and this led to my first set of 'commissions'. After creating a leather satchel for my girlfriend, a wallet for my brother, and plenty of belts, I soon decided to begin accepting orders from the wider (and paying!) public. I now run Kingsley Leather full-time and have never looked back - follow me as my journey continues.

Just finished making these leather door pulls for our built-in TV unit, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! Whatcha think?

For the past few months, I've slowly been crafting built-in units, shelves, and log storage into the alcoves in our living room as part of our house renovation. These leather handles are the finishing touch 👌🏾 ✨️

My final custom project of the year was this bespoke leather shotgun slip.

The customer wanted a custom size case to allow them to carry the shotgun stock and action (without the barrel) when they go for a drink after a shoot.

This was quite a challenging project because I never had possession of the shotgun, and therefore, I had to work off customer measurements. As you can see from the feedback, it fitted "like a hand in a glove"

Leather:
