Beautiful leather tote bags and accessories, that can be personalised too

Pepper Alley was founded a couple of years ago, following a fruitless search for a gold leather tote.

Loving simply styled leather bags in beautiful colours, I was unable to find anything suitable. Turning to a friend with a small leather workshop, I explained my idea with a simple sketch and couple of bullet points. And so the Clemmie tote was born!

Subsequently I’ve designed other items - a clutch bag, wristlet purse, pencil case and keyring - all of which sit comfortably inside the Clemmie, as well as working as stand-alone pieces. And recently I've bought a hot foiling machine, so I now offer product personalisation, too.

I source leather from Italy, choosing ‘neutral’ colours that can be easily paired with other colour combinations. Because leather’s a natural product and I buy in small quantities, it means the colour or finish of a product can differ slightly to the Pepper Alley shop photograph; however, I always ensure colours and finishes are as consistent as possible.
