KLG Deehide is a small leather working business that was launched by me, Kathy Greaves, in 2012. My workshop is based in a converted outbuilding of our home, a Victorian fishing lodge near Banchory on Royal Deeside, Scotland.
I design and make fine, hand-stitched contemporary leather bags, day sporrans and small personal leather items using European vegetable-tanned leather hide.
Each item is crafted using traditional saddlery skills over many hours, having been cut, saddle stitched and polished entirely by hand.
Attention to detail is important and with each piece, I concentrate on a high finish.
I spend 10 hours a day in my workshop preparing stock for sale online, at craft fairs and local galleries and normally break off for a morning jog around our woodland pathways when I can check out the local wildlife.
