Spring Update
Hi all,
We are excited to prepare for another busy season. This is our first summer doing shows and fairs so we are looking forward to taking our leather goods on tour! If you head over to the Contacts and Stockists page you will see a full list of all the events we are attending with links for the event pages for you to access. We would love to see you there and spread the word to friends and family.
We were so excited to meet Orris Leather fans at the recent Spring Countryside Show at the Gillingham and Shaftesbury showground and it was amazing to hear how much people loved the creations we make.
Watch this space because we have a couple of new items in the pipeline which we are just in the process of designing.
We hope to see you at an event near you soon.
Ed and Chris

Our Road Trip to Metropolitan Leather
Yesterday Ed and I got up exceedingly early so we could visit Metropolitan Leather for an event in Thrapston, Northamptonshire. The majority of our leather products are made using leather from Metropolitan and it was amazing to see the leather producer in action and of course pick up some materials direct from the source.
We even got to meet Nigel Armitage who did some demonstrations and had a selection of his own products that the Master leather craftsman makes. We were very happy with our little haul and look forward to making our products in the new range of colours!
Website Update & Future Markets
We've been busy trying to update our website over the past week so sorry if any of you have tried to view and been unsuccessful but we are now up and running!

Poundbury Independent Market
