small batch production
New styles and colours are introduced into the H&T collection each season, sitting alongside a much loved and sought after core range. We aren't fashion faddy but like to learn from our customers what you want and take it from there.
Every bag we make is checked for quality at every stage of the manufacturing process.
Several different leather articles make H&T bags. Smooth and grainy, soft and structured. Every skin is carefully selected for its suitability to the bag style and performance requirement.
Made in somerset
H&T bags are made in small batches in Frome, Somerset. This is the view from the back door of the factory.
(The sheep are back in a mo...)
In this film you see our metal knives (they look a bit like biscuit cutters) and how they are used to stamp out panels from leather. You can see Mike is laying the knife down in a very clever way in order to reduce waste.
Handmade
Honey & Toast bags are all cut, stitched and assembled by highly skilled craftspeople. Mike cuts the leather, Sue stitches, Jason is on edge dye, Daren does the gold stamping and Claire has the eagle eyes for quality control.
I love visiting the factories to discuss and develop ideas for new bags and accessories, helping with QC and making cups of tea.
