What a wonderful British company producing exquisite hand made products from superior leathers and other materials. Most are sold under their own name but they have also produced for Church’s Shoe... See more

Written by the company

Tusting is a British leather goods atelier known for luxury handbags, briefcases and luggage. A ‘quiet luxury’ brand favoured by those who seek subtle, timelessly stylish leather bags and accessories, Tusting's beautiful pieces are entirely British-made, being designed and handcrafted from beginning to end in the workshop at Tusting HQ in Lavendon, Buckinghamshire. A fifth-generation, family-run company, Tusting first came into being in 1875 as a tannery to supply the Northamptonshire shoe trade. Diversifying and eventually specialising in making beautiful products from these leathers, a deep knowledge and appreciation for this ages-old material has been carried forward through all those generations to the modern day so that now this knowledge is invested in every item created in the Tusting workshop. Tusting leather goods are inherently highly sustainable through the materials chosen and the longevity of their lifecycle. All leather used begins as a byproduct of the food industry, is up-cycled by gold-standard tanneries (certified for the highest level of environmental stewardship) and is accompanied by the most durable metal components available. As a result, longevity is a key feature of Tusting products, with many pieces still in daily use over 30 years after they were first made, representing extraordinary sustainability and value for money.

Reassuringly Expensive

Having spent time seeking a UK based luggage manufacturer, Tusting have proved that Britain can still produce world class workmanship and outstanding design.

Ordering from the US and needed additional assistance

Ordering from the US and needed assistance with the color of the item-Lucy was amazingly helpful despite being in a different time zone and country! The exchanges were personal, timely and have made me a customer for life! Can’t wait for the next purchase! Lucy deserves a raise! Service and merchandise was BEYOND expectations!!!!

Lovely product and superb customer service!

I rang customer services to ask for advice on colour for a glasses case. I was taken aback by the quality of the service. I felt as if I were talking to a lovely friend. The lady suggested off-white, a colour I hadn't considered. She said she'd see if it were possible to do this as it wasn't actually a colour they offered in glasses cases but only in their handbags. It arrived three days later and is absolutely stunning.

Superb products and customer service

I originally ordered a Hettie, this was on a Monday, it arrived the following day. I realised it was too small and I would need a mini Holly. I rang customer service, and spoke to a lovely lady who checked they had a mini Holly available and arranged for a return label for the Hettie. The mini Holly arrived on the Thursday!!! I cannot think of another company arranging this so quickly and seamlessly. Absolutely superb customer service, the products are first class - and made in the UK.

Great experience

I recently made my first purchase from Tusting – a Mini Holly – and was delighted with both the quality of the bag and the great customer service. I requested a slightly shorter than standard strap because I'm very petite, but when the bag arrived I felt the strap was still too long. After a bit of discussion over email, Tusting very kindly sent me a new, shorter strap which is perfect. The bag itself is simply wonderful – I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Fabulous

The whole experience of buying from Tusting was a pleasure. I asked for samples of the leather and they came the next day. The tote is quite beautiful. Would highly recommend this company.

Totally trust Tusting

So easy to order and most importantly discuss the order via telephone call - which I did on 3 occasions to answer my queries. Superbly dealt with - so polite, patient, friendly and practical. Would recommend to everyone. Tried to order something similar with a competitor - there was no comparison, so Tusting earned my trust and very special 'once in a lifetime' gift order.

the people are so helpful when you have questions and i love the quality of their bags ad eye glass case. If you have to send something back they set it up so DHl comes to your home to pick it up. I am a huge fan of this company and i will buy the keychain next. Also the colors are wonderful with many choices. I highly recommend this company. DHL gets you the order in approx. 3 days.

Excellent customer support

I have been a very satisfied Tusting customer for many years and always delighted with my purchases so had no cause to seek further support. That is until a couple of weeks ago when I inadvertently used the wrong "polish" while cleaning my current favourite, and much used, handbag. In a panic I contacted the Tusting customer services team who were just great. Not only was the advice comprehensive and effective but it was from a real person (Lucy). The bag is now fully restored and looking lovely again. Thank you very much!

Elegance and quality

I am very pleased with my Mini Holly. It's beautifully crafted and such an elegant shape. I'm glad the company decided to move the foiled logo to the back of the bag - definitely more of a quiet luxury vibe! It's a bag that will look good for years to come.
