Anthony Todd
Leatherwork

Anthony Todd and his team at  Sam Brown Leather make beautifully crafted handmade leather accessories.

His studio uses the very best materials from domestic UK sources. Everything you see will be hand cut and stitched with Londonderry Irish Linen thread. The leathers come from Irish herds and have been vegetable drum dyed by one of the last tanneries here in the UK that have been at their trade since the 1800’s.  Buckles are cast the old fashioned way- Sand Casting in a foundry using solid copper, pewter and  brass. Anthony’s is based at Second Floor Studios and Arts in Woolwich.
