HOLDALL & Co have appeared here before as designers of high quality English-made leather goods. I wanted to update you on the recent addition of a large (16") briefcase to the collection.
Rai Navickaite, founder and designer, told me:
"I’m really proud of this new addition to our collection; it’s actually my favourite product! I have been working on it for almost a year (it all started as a bespoke briefcase project for a customer), designing, prototyping and perfecting the design with our craftsmen. Every briefcase is made individually, each piece cut by hand using traditional knives from one single bridle leather hide (to ensure consistency with colour, texture and thickness). As ever, we use traditional techniques and, of course, there's lots hand finishing and stitching".
Go to Holdall & Co for information and to buy.
THE GENTLE FOX makes cravats, bow ties and pocket squares in England. Like many people in her position, Gill started by sewing for herself and friends and found there was a demand for her products, so started to sell them. She uses organic cotton and thread and reuses or recycles as much as she can. She takes commissions for her beautifully-made accessories.
