About

Beautiful handcrafted leather bags & accessories made in Hertfordshire.

Original handmade accessories using vegetable-tanned leather and recently new vegan plant leather made from 100% organic Nopal cactus (Prickly Pear).

Willow Leather products are all handmade using vegetable-tanned leather and recently new vegan plant leather made from 100% organic Nopal cactus (Prickly Pear). I simply love working with both for their quality, beauty & environmental credentials. My products are focussed on beautiful clean-looking & practical pieces which will be timeless. Each piece is sourced, designed and handmade in Hertfordshire (UK) by yours truly Amber Willow.

The colour of the vegetable tanned leather improves over time, with a rich patina developing through everyday use. Vegetable tanning uses natural ingredients such as tree bark, fruits and leaves in the tanning (dying) process, and is considered the most environmentally friendly approach to dying leather.

The new sustainable plant leather range offers a 100% organic and vegan alternative. There are other plant leather options, but I was drawn to cactus because It’s one of the most durable plant leathers, it will last a lot longer than any faux leather.
