small batch production

At Honey & Toast it's all about small batch production. Bags are made in batches of 20-30 at time. This is a much more sustainable way to work.

Our wonderful factory is in Frome, Somerset. Working in the UK is great as our footprint as a business is so much lighter, making us a sustainable choice as well as affordable. Win win!

I bring new styles and colours into the collection, to sit alongside a much loved and sought after core range of best selling shapes and colours. Delivering you affordable luxury leather bags.

the half moon

The half moon is our bestselling bag. Honey and Toast half moon bags are worn on shoulders all over the UK and world. With it's simple curve it turns heads wherever it goes.

Made from the best quality vegetable tanned leather that I source directly from a tannery in Italy. I have worked with the same tannery for a decade.

Vegetable tanned leather is super special as it will get better with time and use. Minimal care will ensure your half moon bag will look good for years to come.

OUR LEATHERS

I use several different leather articles to make Honey & Toast bags. Smooth and grainy, soft and structured. Every skin is carefully selected for its suitability to the bag style and performance requirement. All of the leathers I use at Honey and Toast have one thing in common - they are all of the highest quality. I buy directly from the tanneries, and have been working with many of them for ten years now.

Honey & Toast is best known for our Bruton bags and leather accessories - a very special vegetable tanned leather. Which, like your best jeans, simply gets better with time and use.

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 metal knives cutting a skin of leather (the knives look a bit like biscuit cutters). You can see how accomplished Mike is at getting the very most from the leather, reducing waste.

made in the uk

Honey & Toast bags are all cut, stitched and assembled by highly skilled craftspeople. Based in our factory in Frome, Somerset. This really is the best of British made leather goods.

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. Warren does a bit of everything. And Fran is in charge!

I visit regularly to discuss and develop ideas for new bags and accessories, helping with QC and of course making the tea.
