Billy Tannery

 

Billy Tannery have developed a range of goat and wild deer leathers out of the waste byproduct left by the UK’s meat industry. As part of our mission to put sustainability at the heart of what we do, we worked with them to develop a chefs’ apron out of their vegetable tanned goat skins, tooled to withstand the fierce heat and pace of the professional kitchen. Paired with solid brass and copper hardware and English bridle leather, the aprons are easy to put on and take off, and ergonomically shaped for ease of movement. 

We also created a make-at-home, pouch-making kit during the Covid-19 pandemic. This kit included laser-cut leather panels, military grade zips, needles and linen thread, alongside a tutorial video. The running stitch technique utilised in the project allows a quick and decorative stitch that is incredibly strong and easily repaired if need be - a valuable new life skill.
