Henry has just repaired two of my bags that I have used for many years - I am so grateful that he is doing this while retired !

Toblerone

Very many thanks Henry for the bespoke ‘Toblerone’ case that you crafted to store knitting needles in. After much searching over the years for something like this, problem now solved!

The case was crafted in exact accordance with the brief, and delivered in a timely way as promised. Communications were easy and excellent throughout, and the case is of high quality and does the job perfectly.

It’s been a pleasure to do business with you, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others. Just fancy one of your other bags now!

Best wishes

A one-off bag made by a true craftsman

I bought a small satchel in mid-tan Latigo leather with custom pocket and it is absolutely stunning. I fully expect this bag to last me the rest of my lifetime if I care for it properly. Henry was easy to contact regarding my order and made recommendations based on my needs. I have no hesitation in recommending.

Ten out of ten.

Before Christmas, I treated myself to a tan coloured Knapsack to match my DM tan boots.
I ordered the Knapsack in early October 2019 after choosing the leather from the swatch of sample hides Henry sent me. The Knapsack arrived in early October and as soon as I opened the package I was overwhelmed by the supple, soft and silky feel of the leather. The Knapsack fits close to my back and even when walking round The National Gallery recently, I felt no need to remove it and hold it in front of me: my purse and keys were tucked away in the pocket in the lining of the main bag, with that zip tucked right down my spine - very safe.
As soon as funds allow, I’ll be sending for another swatch of sample leathers.

Seven stars - superb

Product is absolutely superb and the second I have bought - the first was so good someone stole it!!

Great service and wonderful friendly approach to bespoke customisation - and exceptional value for money

Much admired by many - at-least one of my friends has bought a brief case from HENRY having seen mine

I wanted a complex thing

I wanted a complex thing, with rucksack straps.

Enjoyed a great process of designing together and reviewing options.

Ended up with a great high quality build of a bag that is really practical and unique.

An artisan product at a great price.

The bag I ordered was customised to my requirements perfectly, made to an extremely high quality and looks like it will last a lifetime. As well as that Henry was a pleasure to deal with and the cost was very reasonable. Can't recommend enough.

The three Cs...

Craftsmanship, customer service and courtesy are the hallmarks of Henry Tomkins' business, HT Leather.

Henry has just produced a Large Zipper backpack for us in calf leather as a gift for our daughter's birthday. The whole transaction, from my initial enquiry, through the receipt of leather swatches, to a discussion about the suitability of each, could not have been more helpful. The finished product arrived well to time and our daughter is delighted with it. Do not hesitate to discuss your particular requirements with Henry, he will produce exactly what you want crafted with love and care. Thank you Henry.

Great briefcase. Henry is a gentleman.

I bought a briefcase from Henry and am very happy with it. The quality is excellent and the price fair. Dealing with Henry via email was very pleasant throughout and he clearly goes the extra mile to ensure you are getting what you are looking for. I would happily buy again from Henry and I highly recommend his products and services.

The service was excellent

The service was excellent. Henry had some useful suggestions and was always responsive whist I was ordering a gift for my wife. The quality of the item is outstanding. My wife really loves her gift and uses it all the time. It still looks like new. She hopes it will last a lifetime. Would definitely recommend Henry's workmanship to anyone.

I bought my briefcase more than 12 years ago and it was needing some TLC. It’s been used daily. Henry sorted it out with no fuss at all and only charge me for a worn out lock. When he says his bags are for life he really means it!

I was provided with a first class service. The bag is of excellent quality and given the standard of the construction and the materials used very good value for money. Henry produced it on time, as promised, and I would have no hesitation in recommending others to purchase from him.

The customer service Henry provides is second to none. Communication was superb throughout the whole process.

It's clear that the satchel he made for me will lay me a lifetime. It's stylish, capacious and is just what I needed.

If I ever need leather goods in the future, I'll be sure to contact Henry. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Utterly fantastic product and service from start to finish.

A beautiful briefcase

A beautiful briefcase which is very good value for money. Best of all, made in England. If you are looking for a briefcase, look no further. The wait is worth it.
