Handmade in small batches – It's how we work We hand make all our products in small batches, some pieces are even made to order in a batch of one. We are not a factory but a small team of dedicated artisan craftspeople in a workshop based in beautiful rural South Devon, UK. Firstly, we source the best materials possible. Almost exclusively, Full Grain Vegetable or Bark Tanned leather sourced from small, world renowned tanneries. Many of our buckles are sand cast, the old fashioned way in a West Midlands foundry. We’re passionate about provenance, by sourcing leather made in traditional ways we ensure that our legacy is light on the planet. Our products are designed and made to last. Contemporary classic designs ensure that a Tanner Bates piece is not subject to the trends of fast fashion. The leather will get better over time, ageing with you, becoming a trusted friend and developing a patina unique to you the owner and user. Ultimately becoming a contemporary heirloom. Don’t forget to care for your leather. Our makers use traditional, time honoured hand craft techniques to produce each product. Should a Tanner Bates piece ever be in need of repair, we will always do what we can to ensure that you enjoy years and years of use from your Tanner Bates product. A Tanner Bates piece is an investment. We’re fighting against fast fashion and mass production one handmade piece at a time.
