When you are having fun, and creating something you love it shows in the product. I believe you can transfer that energy to material things as you're creating them. Tom Ford
These Bradley saddle bags were showcased at last years Horse of The Year Show where they were highly praised .One customer said…” What’s the best thing about Hoys? Seeing your bags”! Praise indeed.
My range of products have evolved from my quest to make my puppy a dog collar six and a half years ago. Traditional leatherwork is addictive, all of my bags unless stated are made totally by hand from saddles and tack using only traditional methods and tools. This ancient way ensures strength and longevity, your purchase is guaranteed to last , giving you value for money over many years. The true meaning of a Bag for life. Saddles that are old or broken are always required, please send me photos.
Thank youPlease follow my Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/bradleyleatherwork.co.uk/
There you will see new bags as they evolve and join in with raffles etc.Current raffle running is raising funds for my Grandson Hunter who was born with the rare Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome.
