Hello and welcome to the extended Tusting family – we’re thrilled that you have joined the growing group of people who own a Tusting product.

My family has been in the leather business since 1875, beginning as leather tanners when my great-great-grandfather set up his tannery to supply the growing Northampton shoemaking trade. Since then, we’ve accumulated five generations of knowledge and expertise, and over the years, making leather itself has given way to handcrafting fine leather goods. We lovingly reinvest all those years of experience in every piece that is carefully created by our highly skilled team of designers and artisans, and we are delighted to share that with you in the shape of your new bag.

If you would like to get in touch at any time, please do not hesitate to contact us here.

General Care

Your new Tusting item, whether it is a handbag, briefcase, piece of luggage or small accessory, will joyfully stand up to some long and faithful service. The amount of care you give it is really up to you, according to just how lived in you like your leathergoods to look. Life, in general, will contribute to the ageing of the leather, and of any fabric in your chosen style, forming a rich patina on the leather, especially the handles, and softening the fabric a little, all of which makes your item uniquely yours.

When not in use, it is best to store our bags in the cotton outer bag provided – this helps to keep dust and dirt off the leather and fabric and protects it from directional light damage which may cause uneven discolouration. When in use, as in all aspects of life, ‘stuff happens’ and your bag may get soiled or marked in the normal way of things. If you do find you need to give your bag some love and attention, a little knowledge on how to best care for it will come in handy.
