From handmade leather belts to dog collars, trugs, and natural leather balm .. every piece tells a story of heritage, quality, and timeless craftsmanship.

A DESIGN FOR LIFE

Founded in 2018, Warriner Leather combines traditional craftsmanship with a passion for creating durable, timeless leather goods. With over 12 years of experience as a leatherworker, saddler and harness maker, I handcraft each piece using locally sourced oak bark tanned leather, waxed linen threads, and solid brass hardware.

Leather tells a story — from the local farms raising the cattle to British tanneries producing sustainable hides. Each handmade belt, bag, or bespoke harness carries this legacy, crafted with care, precision, and sustainability in mind. My goal is to create heirloom-quality leather goods that last a lifetime, blending function, tradition, and the enduring artistry of UK leatherwork

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Every item is carefully handcrafted in my Devon workshop. I create leather goods meant to endure, develop character over time, and hold meaning for their owners. Using premium vegetable-tanned leather, precision and quality guide every stage of the process

TRADITION

Inspired by British leathercraft heritage, I apply generations of harness-making expertise to every stitch and cut. Each leather belt, bag, or bespoke harness embodies skill, pride, and timeless design.

EDUCATION

Through leathercraft workshops and courses in Devon, I teach traditional techniques to beginners and fellow makers. I focus on fostering appreciation for the materials and methods, helping to keep authentic artisan leatherwork alive.

CONNECTION

Understanding starts with transparency. I source responsible leather from local farms and UK tanneries, connecting craftsmanship with community. Every handmade piece reflects respect for the land, the people, and the enduring artistry of British leatherwork.
