What a wonderful British company producing exquisite hand made products from superior leathers and other materials. Most are sold under their own name but they have also produced for Church’s Shoe... See more

Written by the company

Tusting is a British leather goods atelier known for luxury handbags, briefcases and luggage. A ‘quiet luxury’ brand favoured by those who seek subtle, timelessly stylish leather bags and accessories, Tusting's beautiful pieces are entirely British-made, being designed and handcrafted from beginning to end in the workshop at Tusting HQ in Lavendon, Buckinghamshire. A fifth-generation, family-run company, Tusting first came into being in 1875 as a tannery to supply the Northamptonshire shoe trade. Diversifying and eventually specialising in making beautiful products from these leathers, a deep knowledge and appreciation for this ages-old material has been carried forward through all those generations to the modern day so that now this knowledge is invested in every item created in the Tusting workshop. Tusting leather goods are inherently highly sustainable through the materials chosen and the longevity of their lifecycle. All leather used begins as a byproduct of the food industry, is up-cycled by gold-standard tanneries (certified for the highest level of environmental stewardship) and is accompanied by the most durable metal components available. As a result, longevity is a key feature of Tusting products, with many pieces still in daily use over 30 years after they were first made, representing extraordinary sustainability and value for money.

My sister bought me a TUSTING Leather 27 years ago

My sister bought me a TUSTING Leather Clipper bag (Sundance) back in 1999 from a store in Natick, Massachusetts. I used it regularly as a school teacher carrying a little more than I should. The leather strap finally gave out in May 2026. Seeing that it was showing its age, I sent it to England to give back a bit of life.

Tusting sent the new leather strap, and replaced piping, lining, D-ring strap, and few other changes. I was happy to see that Tusting didn't clean up the body too much as I want my bag to look like it was being used. The leather panel clearly shows obvious wear but it's still in great shape even after 27 years of use.

Thank you for the lovely five stars, PJ. Keeping our older bags on the road is a particular point of pride for us, and yours was a delight to repair - ready to go for another 20 years!

The British Gem!

This brand is a hidden gem! The craftsmanship that goes into each bag is amazing! I have three bags from Tusting.
I have two Holly bags, and a suede Sienna bag. I first purchased my Oxblood Holly. I loved it so much that I was in need of a navy bag. I went shopping on Tusting's website, and not only purchased my navy Holly, but my Sienna as well. They are so well priced that I could purchase two bags and feel really great about it! This brand is like no other. If you buy one of their bags, you will not be sorry!

I wanted to give my utmost appreciation to Lucy and the rest of the team for making things right when I had concerns with my bag. Lucy kept me updated with the replacement process and was so very kind, courteous and professional in all her communications with me. I can tell this is a brand that takes great pride in the quality of their handbags. Thank you all very much!

Exquisite products and the best shopping experience!

Absolutely great experience! I bought the leather laptop sleeve in Ivy (dark green) and a key-holder in Ivy too. The products are top-quality and really beautiful, the packaging is also gorgeous. And the buying exprience went beyond my expectations: upon receiving my confirmation e-mail, I let them know I would've wanted my son's initials in the key-holder too, as I had requested for the laptop sleeve, but that I had not been able to find the personalisation options under the key-holder. They immediately answered that they would do it anyway, for free! I can not recommend them enough. Truly delighted!

Having a bit of a beast of a laptop...

Having a bit of a beast of a laptop, I reached out to see if my 15" diagonal screen size would fit in their laptop sleeve. Gave the measurements. Gillian responded (turns out they did a mock-up) and I ordered. The laptop sleeve is gorgeous and the leather is divine. Supple and soft. Its thickness is such that it moulds around my laptop versus some more inexpensive brands for my other laptop that act more like a case versus a sleeve. Highly recommended and great customer service. Quality is top-notch.

Leather notebook cover

I purchased a leather notebook cover. This was not my first purchase from Tusting. I knew the quality would be excellent and I am not disappointed. The leather has a beautiful patina and I know I will have years of happy use. The packaging of the notebook in itself was a delight. My gift to me!

Exquisite piece

My Tusting Kimbolton is a truly exquisite piece. The leather is silk-smooth, and the craftsmanship is wonderful—you can feel the quality in every detail. I am delighted with my purchase; it is a beautiful addition to my collection.

Perfect bags

Perfect bags, perfect customer service.
I am a bag addict and have bought from many of the designer houses over the years but can safely say my Tusting bags are the highest quality I own. I bought one and soon bought another 2 just a few weeks later - the quality is that good.
The customer service is really like no other brand. They email personally back if you have any queries and I was able to make a bespoke bag in the leather colour of my choice - the communication was fantastic and I got my bespoke bag in under a week!
They are my favourite brand.

My beautiful Rex bag is my first…

My beautiful Rex bag is my first purchase from Tusting and it is simply stunning. The quality of the material used and craftsmanship is superb. My bag is a joy to carry around, holds everything I need and looks very stylish indeed. I will certainly be purchasing more items from Tusting in the future and cannot recommend the Company highly enough.

New Briefcase

I recently commissioned a bespoke briefcase for myself after a significant work milestone. I researched multiple options beforehand and became inspired while learning more about Tusting both their history and their process. I was fortunate to be able to create a custom piece together with their incredible team and go through the journey. Now that my briefcase has arrived, words cannot describe the finished product/new family member. The beauty, quality and craftsmanship are outstanding and I know that it will only look even better with use. A big thanks to the team at Tusting from across the pond! I cannot recommend them enough!

Gorgeous bag

Saw this range of bags on an online article. Was looking for a burgundy crossbody bag and found one in the Tusting range. I had never heard of the brand but loved the look of their products. I was delighted with the bag I purchased. Excellent service and I am using my gorgeous new bag regularly.

Superb quality and customer service

I am really pleased with my Tusting handbag. It manages to be both outstanding and discreet at the same time. The leather is smooth and beautiful and the bag is expertly made inside and out. The delivery was so quick and my bag was very well packed. I am looking forward to ordering another one.

Tusting “Hazel” bag in Chocolate Suede:

Tusting “Hazel” bag in Chocolate Suede:

Sumptuously soft suede in a rich chocolate colour, impeccable craftsmanship, a beautiful gold turnlock fastener that closes smoothly, very subtle branding; drapes perfectly on the shoulder and lays comfortably flat against the body; ample space but sized for everyday use; a tailored and refreshingly sophisticated alternative to other brands’ slouchy/boho suede offerings. Incredibly helpful, efficient, and friendly customer service by phone with the UK flagship store. My first Tusting purchase but already choosing my next one! You’ve definitely earned a lifelong customer :) Thank you!

I adore this brand

I adore this brand. I have now bought four items from them - a handbag, a travel bag, a wash bag, and a laptop sleeve. One of the items I wanted to return and switch to a different model with very short notice and get delivered in time for a flight, and their staff picked up my call and were able to directly check for me on the phone that the warehouse had stock (by walking into the warehouse to ask! as it is on site) of the item I wanted and were able to put it out to DHL within two hours for shipping - absolutely fantastic service. The quality of their bags is brilliant and I am obsessed with touching the fabrics every time I get a chance to use the item - expensive but worth the money as they feel and look so luxurious. I will be buying more from them in the future, but wanted to leave this review as I have been so happy with the brand. I love small brands and this one is genuine and lovely - it's nice knowing my money is going to support this type of craft.
