About Broken Wing Leathercraft Studio

Broken Wing Leathercraft Studio brings leatherworking to a small workshop scale: hand-finished pieces designed for everyday use. The business describes its work as handmade in Scotland. Its catalog brings together pocket accessories and items for writing or travel, with close attention to materials, stitching, and practical details.

The foundation is vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather sourced from selected artisan tanneries in Italy and the United Kingdom. The studio says it uses plant-based dyes, oils, and waxes to bring out the natural grain and let the leather develop with use. Some hides are hand-finished and tumbled in wooden drums to emphasize their texture.

The range includes cardholders, wallets, coin purses, small purses, key rings, lanyards, and bookmarks. Pocket notebooks with kraft-paper refills are another option for anyone who likes carrying a compact notebook alongside keys or a wallet. These are small goods where usefulness depends as much on the interior layout as on the leather itself.

Models described by the studio include the Haymarket cardholder, with curved lines and saddle stitching, and the Portobello pocket purse, which has a removable divider for separating cards and cash. The Samosa coin purse has a triangular fold-over shape and a traditional metal fastener. Columbo pocketbooks come in two versions and include a small notepad and pencil.

The Classica and Croma collections offer two takes on the same craft: the first uses traditional heritage colors, while the second favors brighter shades. Several items can be personalized with up to five initials. Some cardholders offer an optional RFID-protective fabric layer; the brand lists this for specific models, not as a standard on every product.

Construction combines saddle stitching with waxed thread and hand finishing. Broken Wing offers a 10-year stitching guarantee on its premium cardholders and wallets. That coverage applies to the stitching on those products and should not be read as general protection against every kind of wear or damage.

The catalog and ordering process are online, with sections for cardholders and coin purses, travel notebooks, wallets, and accessories. The website also announces appearances at makers’ markets, though dates change and should be checked on its event listings. It does not publish visiting hours; its offer is best understood as an artisan workshop and online store for small-batch leather goods.
