The ethos behind Williams Handmade is to produce truly unique, sculptural, timeless pieces while raising the appreciation of hand craftsmanship. Each piece is handmade by the founder Sarah Williams in her workshop, which is in a converted school in Bircher, Leominster, located next to National Trust property Croft Castle.

All of the products are made from the highest quality, English Bridle leather, sourced from Northamptonshire, where it is finished by hand, by an experienced craftsmen. All of our fittings are cast in one of the last remaining foundries in the UK.
