Small Batch Manufacturing
I offer a manufacturing service to businesses looking for individual or small batch production orders of products. I specialise in traditional saddlery hand stitching techniques but also have a Wimsew flat bed sewing machine and as such am able to take on a variety of tasks. Clients include:
- Off Yer Bike (Leather handles);
- Noble Russell Furniture (Upholstery and decor projects);
- GTO Engineering (Ferrari Bonnet straps and other strapwork);
- Leather Technologies Ltd (Pashley handlebar grips and other products);
- Jacaranda Carpets (Carpet sample straps).
If you have a full or part project requiring hand stitching or machine work please contact me by email at jim@equestrianandcanine.co.uk or by telephone 07966448296.
Below are some case studies of current ongoing manufacturing work.
Off Yer Bike
This company already produced a Brompton carry handle manufactured using man made materials but were looking for a leather option to compliment the range. I designed a leather version of the handle and produce it in three colour options. These are now distributed world wide.
Pashley Handlebar Grips
Through Leather Technologies Ltd I have been hand stitching Pashley leather grips for about ten years and in that time have probably stitched in excess of 20,000 individual grips. This is an example of the kind of bulk hand stitching that I am able to undertake.
GTO Engineering
I have made a number of small batches of hand made bonnet straps as well as one-off individual items for Ferrari restoration company GTO Engineering. High quality hand made strap work gives a fine finish. For vehicle restoration companies I can keep stock designs for individual or wholesale supply if required.
