Billy Tannery

Billy Tannery started with a discovery

We found out that due to decades of decline in the British leather industry, many thousands of goatskins leftover from the food industry were being thrown away or burned each year. In a world waking up to the need for lower-impact materials, we set out to find a solution.

So in 2016, building on centuries of local leather knowledge we transformed a farm building in the Midlands into our own small-batch tannery - the first of its kind to be built in this country for well over 50 years.

Today our collection of handmade leather goods puts our vegetable tanned goat and deer leather centre stage.
