  • From used leather clothing I repurpose the leather to make items from my collection.
    Occasionally old leather bags may be available that I have repaired or reinvigorated.

  • All reborn items are available now and ready to ship. If there are no items available right now, but you would like to know when the next items are available, sign up for my newsletter to hear first when they are released.

  • If you have an old leather item you would like me to repurpose into one of my designs for you or if you have a bag that is in need of repair, get in touch and we can discuss the options.

A limited selection of repurposed or reinvigorated leather items

I’m Melissa the owner, designer and maker at Melissa Marie Leather.

I am very selective with the leather and tanneries I use. I use only full grain leather, the highest grade of leather and source from only 2 UK tanneries, who use sustainable tanning processes and hides that are a by-product of the UK meat industry from predominantly pasture fed cows.  The sheepskins for my bags are sourced locally to me in Devon and are from sheep that are farmed in an ethical and regenerative way.  Read more about the way I work here…

Using only traditional techniques I carefully hand craft each item, celebrating the character of the leather and respecting any natural scratches and scars as marks of the animals life in my work.

The leather and techniques used ensure that all products I make will wear in, not out and come with a lifetime guarantee on stitching and fastenings, so they really can last you a lifetime.

WHAT MY CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY

  • “I just opened my lovely birthday present… My Lilla tote is just GORGEOUS! Everything I hoped it would be. A thing of beauty, but also robust enough to use every day (and I can tell it will become even more lovely as it ages). I am going to order your balm just to make sure. ”

    Virginia
