A new British accessories company

CHERCHBI is a British leathergoods and accessories company. Inspired by Britain's creative and cultural heritage we craft modern designs in a robust, traditional quality.

Our Herdwick and British leather bags, handmade leather belts and accessories are designed and entirely made in Britain. We use the best natural raw materials including vegetable-tanned English saddle leather, Herdwyck No. 10 wool tweed, cotton canvas, solid brass and pewter.
Many of these materials are developed locally by us and all are natural
and sustainable.

CHERCHBI thrives on its fascination with Britain's design and manufacturing heritage, and reacts against the quality and environmental impact of mass production.

Established by Adam Atkinson in 2007 the company began with an idea to make bags using wool from the ancient rare-breed Herdwick. The fleece is considered almost worthless and often burned, yet Herdwicks have a 1,000-year heritage and worthy reputation as Britain’s hardiest mountain sheep. After four years and nine weave trials this low value fleece was transformed into high quality cloth; Herdwyck No. 10, a new waterproof British tweed as robust as the Herdwick itself.

The Herdwyck bag collection can be purchased securely here in the Shop.
