Three Hills Leather is based in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, UK in the shadow of the three peaks of the Sinodun Hills and Brightwell Barrow.
Three Hills Leather was started by me, Matt Gleave, in 2016, when I decided to make some leather luggage straps for my vintage car roof rack. A few tools were bought, some video tutorials were watched, and off I set into the world of leather craft. Making those straps ignited a passion for crafting and a gave me a thirst for learning more skills. Over the next few years I developed my techniques and refined my product line, my family and friends received many handmade gifts and provided great everyday use feedback.
I exclusively use premium Horween leather, a full grain vegetable-tanned hide infused with a blend of oils and waxes. The resulting leather has a natural look and a softer supple feel. Horween has a heavy ‘pull up’, a distressed effect which lightens in colour when folded or creased and will develop a beautiful patina with age.
All my products are handcrafted in my studio using the finest materials. Each piece is individual, reflecting the natural product, is 100% handmade and is made to last. I passionately believe that every scuff and scratch on a premium leather product has a story to tell.
