About Morris and Mole Leathercraft
Morris & Mole was founded in 2024, when its creator completed a PhD and was wondering which direction she wanted to take into the future. Ultimately, she decided to turn a lifelong love of crafting into a full-time pursuit. The business specializes in leatherwork, a craft she enjoys for its variety and hands-on process. Each piece begins with raw materials and is carefully shaped into something functional and lasting. Among her favorite creations is a minimalist leather backpack that actually evolved from an oversized crossbody prototype. The “Corner Keeper” bookmark is another favorite because it adds a small, yet elegant touch of luxury in everyday life. Morris & Mole thrives off of their sustainable practices, from sourcing vegetable-tanned leather from respected Italian and UK tanneries to packaging orders in reusable cotton bags and recyclable materials. This business values careful craftsmanship, and creating items that are not only beautiful but also built to last.
