DD Practical Leathercraft

Who we are

Leather is beautiful and sustainable. Let’s collaborate to create; from dreams to design!

Here at DD Practical, we are in a unique position to source true luxury leather to create your custom designs. We embrace the natural characteristics of leather and celebrate the imperfections. Our three main objectives are to create leather products that are unique, beautiful and above all else; Practical. We have no desire to mass produce the same product over and over again, and we treasure the time and effort that goes into creating custom designs for each individual customer.

Fashion houses around the world have to use lower-grade leather in order to mass-produce products to look the same, no matter where they are purchased from. This requires extra processing to give the leather a uniform look, often resulting in the loss of natural characteristics and beauty. Some of these named brands don’t even use Leather anymore! There are too many people paying hundreds of pounds for a Plastic bag.

If you would much rather collaborate to create a beautiful and practical design unique to you, at a fraction of the cost of buying a mass-produced clone, you are in the right place! Let’s chat!

I also make and stock a variety of leather products that you can find on my online shop and at Makers Markets around the UK.

Everything is traditionally handcrafted in my Atelier. All products are customisable and nearly everything can be personalised. I am on a mission to provide high-quality leather products that are practical, beautiful and most importantly – will last a lifetime.

I am a plastic-free business and work with as many small independent businesses as possible to responsibly source my materials.
