I’m Rachel, and at Keep-Studio in Clevedon I design and handcraft leather bags and accessories from start to finish – sketching, cutting and hand stitching every piece myself. I work British and Italian vegetable-tanned leathers, chosen for their quality and character, to create designs that are modern, timeless and built to last.
The leathers I use are a by-product of the meat industry, naturally tanned with plant-based extracts, making them both beautiful and responsible choices, which will age beautifully and last a lifetime. Most items are made to order to avoid unnecessary waste, with larger offcuts turned into small goods, and every piece comes with a lifetime guarantee. By choosing Keep-Studio, you’re supporting slow fashion, traditional craftsmanship and a more thoughtful way of making.
Because every piece is made to order, I can offer a truly bespoke service. You can choose different leathers, thread colours, hardware finishes, or even adjust the size and shape to suit you. If you have a design in mind, just get in touch via the website and we can talk it through.
