About

Sue Lowday

Leatherwork & Metalwork  ·  Over 35 Years

 

Open 11.00am - 4pm

Sue works with both leather and metal, spending over three decades exploring the art of dye and moulding techniques. Her materials are chosen with care — she works primarily with sustainable vegetable-tanned leathers, most tanned to her own specifications in Italy. She has recently collaborated with one of the rare heritage tanneries still working in the UK.

Everything Sue makes is designed to be used, loved, and kept. Belts, bags, key holders, journals, and more — each piece a timeless companion that only improves with age, developing a rich patina over years of use. Her work features in both public and private collections.

"Sue has made me the most gorgeous new organiser, which I shall treasure for decades to come. She makes beautiful things that last, and develop a lovely patina as they age."

"I am now the proud owner of three Sue Lowday belts — all different colours. I am absolutely thrilled with all of them. Will never go elsewhere."

— Verified customer

"Sue made me a bespoke phone holder for my belt, and I'm over the moon with it. The quality of the leather and her knowledge of leather crafting is exceptional."
