Welcome to ESB Leather

The home of top quality essential leather goods

 Here you’ll find a great selection of English bridle leather dog collars & leads, leather belts, accessories, bespoke saddlery, sheep & cattle halters all individually handmade by me, Emma S. Baker-Jones. Nothing is mass-produced, so may take a little longer, but made with care and passion for over 35 years!

I make leathergoods that not only look good and feel good, they are practical, durable and sustainable – leathergoods for your life!

Happy browsing!

Welcome to my website….

I hope you’ll enjoy browsing through all of the leathergoods I feature on this website. They’re all completely handmade by me from scratch, one at a time, no mass-production and no machines! For this reason, I can adapt designs to suit your needs if required.

Shows and Events

Details of my planned shows and markets for this year are all available on the Shows and Events page. I’ve just finished my run of monthly markets on Saturdays in Hay-on-Wye. It’s my local town and it’s world reknowned for it’s book shops and the iconic Hay literary festival, but also boasts a thriving weekly market stocked by local food, drink and artisan producers. 
Next up, I’ll be exhibiting as usual in the Wye Hall at Malvern Autumn Show with the Herefordshire Guild of Craftsmen – a favourite with visitors and exhibitors!
In December, I’ll be back in Hay exhibiting at the Hay Castle Christmas Fair too – the perfect opportunity to pop into the castle and find some unique handmade Christmas gifts!

 

Cotton storage/gift bags

An ethically produced ESB Leather natural cotton drawstring bag will be included with all orders for Dog leads, Belts, Sheep and Cattle halters. They’re ideal for gifting, storing, or carrying your leathergoods. You can also buy additional bags which are available in several sizes.

Looking after your leather

Remember to take good care of all your leathergoods, keep them clean and treat them regularly with some good leather food to keep the leather supple and nourished. This is especially important if your dog loves to swim while wearing a leather collar! Take a look at my Leathercare page for loads of information and useful advice.
