Melissa began her journey as a maker in 2018 through repairing her own equestrian tack. Learning the skills and processes of how her tack had been constructed became a fascination and obsession.

As Melissa Marie Leather, she uses traditional techniques, including saddle stitching, to hand craft each item - all made exclusively from Billy Tannery and J. & F.J. Baker leather. There is a focus on longevity as this is what originally inspired Melissa to explore leather work.

The metal fittings are made from hard-wearing brass that, like the leather, will develop a unique patina over time.

There is a limited number available for pre-order to ensure that each Maker can dedicate their time and deliver attention to detail to each product.
