6 leather Christmas gifts that will last a lifetime

Christmas is a time to treat your loved ones to a sustainable, well made and thoughtful present that they can enjoy for a lifetime. And in our opinion, it’s better to buy one quality luxury gift, than several presents that don’t quite make the mark.

At Billy Tannery, we are champions of quality over quantity, and we find that our customers are too. Whoever you’re buying for this festive season, we have UK-made leather Christmas gifts that will most certainly hit the nail on the head.

The Make-At-Home Pouch - for the artisan

The Leather Phone Pouch kit is a collaboration between Billy Tannery and leatherworker Otis Ingrams - two independent UK companies with a passion for quality leather goods. It’s the ideal leather Christmas present for the craft lover in your life.

This unique gift includes everything your giftee needs to create a beautiful goat leather pouch that can be used for countless purposes, from protecting tech, to keeping daily handbag essentials secure.

If you’re buying a leather gift for a friend or family member who loves a project, they will most definitely enjoy curling up with the Make-At-Home Pouch in front of a roaring fire this Christmas.

The Leather Placemats - for the host

If you’ve got someone in your life that always extends an invite into their home and organises fun-filled get togethers, then our leather placemats might be the perfect Christmas present for them. Available in two timeless colours and individually, or in sets of four or eight, you can make sure that they’ll be able to set a stylish place setting no matter how many guests are gathered round their table.

Gift with matching handmade luxury coasters that are durable, soft and water resistant. They'll look great set out at their next dinner party.

The Key Wrap - the unbeatable stocking filler 

Stocking fillers are tricky to buy. The name “filler” suggests that they are simply adding to a quota of presents, but we don’t believe in buying for the sake of it.

A stocking filler should be thoughtful, functional and beautiful, and that’s exactly what our leather Key Wrap is... a small yet perfectly formed premium stocking filler.

Made from our sustainable bark-tanned goat leather, this key wrap wallet is a serious upgrade from a “normal” keyring. It fits 4-5 keys, with the option of attaching a car fob on the outside, and protects tech from scratches, while adding effortless style to any pocket or bag.

It’s a stand-out leather stocking filler that will be used, enjoyed and admired countless times.

The Bifold Wallet - for the sophisticated 

The Billy Tannery Bifold Wallet is our take on what is arguably the most classic of all Christmas gifts, the leather wallet.

Classic doesn’t equal low impact however, as our bark-tanned goat leather Bifold is the epitome of style and quality craftsmanship. The passion that goes into every wallet is evident in every stitch and detail, each handmade in a small leather goods workshop near our leather tannery.

Whether you’re buying for him or for her, the Bifold is sure to make a big impact on Christmas day, and continue to feature in the fortunate recipient’s life for decades to come.

You won’t find “wallet” on their Christmas list ever again.

The Journal - for the creative

If you’re looking for a sustainable leather Christmas gift for the deep thinker in your life, look no further than the leather bound Journal.

This refillable leather bound notebook is sourced, tanned and made in the UK, and holds quality biodegradable and recyclable paper. It’s made to be taken on all life’s adventures, and will literally hold onto memories, as the leather develops a unique patina over time.

This will become the recipient's favourite notebook - one that they never have to worry about finishing.

The Leather Apron - for the foodie

Whether the recipient is a professional chef or dedicated home cook, our premium Leather Cooking Apron will elevate any time spent in the kitchen (or tending to the BBQ).

This UK-made 100% goat leather apron was originally created for London-based chef, James Cochran, and is therefore totally ergonomic for cooks, featuring comfortable adjustable straps, a tea towel loop and a handy chest pocket.

The leather apron is a premium gift that will become your loved one’s new kitchen uniform.

The Rolltop Backpack - for the traveller 

We all know and love a wanderluster, and our Roll Top Leather Backpack was made with them firmly in mind.

This is a large but light leather backpack made from goat leather that was previously a wasted byproduct of the goat dairy industry. With a unique design featuring six litres of optional extra volume via the roll top, this luxury rucksack is perfect for weekend breaks and city adventures. Each Rolltop Backpack is expertly handmade in Somerset, and the care that goes into creating each bag couldn’t be clearer.

This rucksack is a luxury leather Christmas gift that will keep on giving for a lifetime.
