Leather desk mat in light tan British leather
- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
Our desk mats are the perfect size for a laptop and mouse. But even more importantly is how tactile they are: as I work at my desk I feel the smoothness of the leather and the gentle patterns of the stretch marks. I love how strong and solid it feels and how luxurious it looks.

PROVENANCE
Our leather goods have all been made for us by Jason Stocks-Young, a member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen. I love going to his workshop in an old mill on the edge of the Pennines, so many beautifully kept and displayed tools, leathers, threads and an air of creativity and warmth. I feel so lucky to have found and met someone who shares my ethos and is as excited as I am about the limited editions we can create, all naturally different of course.
We use all of the hide we buy, a shoulder that comes with all the natural variation, nicks and stretch marks that hint of our cow’s time in the field: a life we celebrate in this range of trays, limited editions and naturally different. We keep this natural character, incorporating it into our designs.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our leather comes from one of the oldest leather suppliers in the UK based in Northampton. Instead of chemical dyes we use vegetable based dyes and are vegetable tanned using tree barks to enrich the colour. Some hides we leave undyed so you can see the natural markings.
DELIVERY
2nd class postage and packing to anywhere in the UK is included.
Our leathers are safely packed in British sourced tissue paper and cardboard boxes, Opening the box is a treat with the colourful tissue and the smell of leather.
The desk mats are rolled, following the natural shape of the animal. Once unrolled the desk mat will naturally flatten over 2-3 days of use and be perfect on any desktop.
CARE
Leather will age and change over time with the melanin in the leather changing in the light, it develops a patina that’s characterful and unique, reflecting its natural heritage and character.
Treasure it and enjoy its feel, smell and character. This will last a lifetime
