The Craft Behind the Harrods Collection: Leather Bags

Have you ever wanted to know how a leather bag is made? Join us on a trip to Lavendon in Buckinghamshire and discover the craft behind the Harrods collection. Family-run business Tusting has been an expert name in the leather-making business since 1875, making it the perfect place to bring Harrods’ leather bags to life. The process begins with the selection of the materials. Tusting’s leather is of the highest quality, and each piece retains its natural grain in a way that makes it completely unique. The individual elements that comprise a handmade leather bag are initially cut using a bespoke knife. The edges are then stained to match the surface, before the pieces are split to the correct thickness and stitched together on a flatbed sewing machine. The final touches are then carefully and skilfully applied by Tustings’ craftspeople. Generations of expertise in the bag – and in your hands. The Craft Behind the Harrods Collection takes you behind the scenes with the partners who bring our Harrods collection products to life.
