Designed in London and proudly crafted in Somerset England, the Padfield collection of leather lifestyle accessories are inspired by daily life in cosmopolitan London, weekends in the English countryside, and a love of pared back European style.

Join the PADFIELD family and help us celebrate and support British craftsmanship and local British businesses.

At Padfield we are committed to keeping our rich heritage of British leather tanning and craftsmanship alive. Why is this important to us?
With the majority of British brands choosing to source their leather and make their accessories abroad, the British leather industry has been declining. The United Kingdom once had over 4,000 tanneries and now there are just 23 remaining (Drapers, 2015). A significant decline considering the UK and global market for leather accessories is growing. We also feel strongly about being authentic. Not just calling ourselves Padfield England but by crafting all of our leather accessories from start-to-finish at home in England.
_______________________________________
With ethical and environmental sustainability a major factor in our decision making, sourcing and making locally also means Padfield can be sure that all our artisans are earning fair UK wages and working in high quality environments, whilst keeping our carbon footprint low. Padfield also believes in using NO PLASTIC. To eliminate plastic and throwaway packaging Padfield accessories are dispatched in Padfield Made in England recyclable gift boxes. We hope that you will choose to keep your box, to store your Padfield when not in use, or to store other precious possessions.
