Leather for Living
Description
Import and sale of bags that are made in Nepal from locally tanned leather. Manufacture and sale of bags in Scotland made from veg tanned leather. Welcome to Leather for Living, established in the lively fishing port of Mallaig in 2014. I've been an importer of leathergoods from Nepal for a number of years and am now combining this with manufacture of leather articles myself. Many of the handtools and techniques that I use come from Nepal where I worked as a trainer during the 1980-90s. Whereas there the leatherworkers had to collect their rawhides and tan the leather in small pits, I buy my hides ready tanned. However, like them, I prefer to use natural vegetable tanned leather, as this allows greater scope for the creative effects I want to achieve.
