Today sees the start of London Fashion Week. As London Fashion Week celebrates some of Britain’s most exciting established brands and emerging designers, we’re asking a slightly uncomfortable question.

Does the story your brand tells match the story behind your supply chain?

British design. British craftsmanship. Quality. Longevity. These values don't have to stop at the finished product.

We’re proud to work with many British brands who are making conscious choices about the materials and components they use — and who believe that where something comes from matters.

So this week, we’re encouraging more brands to take a closer look.

If your brand is British, is your supply chain too?

If you would like to have a conversation with Abbey England on how we can help, we would love to hear from you.

Please call us on +44 1565 650343 or email us [email protected].

💡 TOP TIP THURSDAY💡

Tip 3 – Complex Stitching Techniques

Why it matters:
Advanced stitching methods like decorative patterns, reinforced seams, or double-row stitching increase both durability and visual appeal.

When to use it:
• On high-stress areas such as handles, straps, or heavy-use products.
• When adding decorative flair without compromising strength.

How to apply it:
Plan stitch placement carefully. Maintain even tension and spacing, and use high-quality threads suitable for the leather weight.

🎨 Maker’s Tip: Test complex patterns on scraps to refine your technique and avoid mistakes on the final piece.

Why Biothane® Is Made for Busy Lives 🐾

Mud.
Rain.
Wet walks.
Everyday adventures.

When it comes to dog collars and leads, materials need to be practical as well as good-looking.

That’s where Biothane® comes in.

Biothane® combines a strong polyester core with a protective synthetic coating, creating a material that is durable, flexible, water-resistant and easy to clean.

It’s a popular choice for making:
🐕 Dog collars
🐕 Leads
🐕 Harnesses
🐴 Bridlework
🎒 Outdoor and adventure products

And because it doesn’t require the same edge finishing or burnishing as leather, it can help makers create a clean, professional finish without the extra steps.

💡 New to Biothane®?

Our starter kits are a great way to experiment with different colours and widths before committing to larger quantities.

Discover Biothane® and start creating your next collar, lead or project.

💡 TOP TIP THURSDAY💡

Tip 2 – Tooling & Embossing

Why it matters:
Tooling and embossing add texture, depth, and personalization, enhancing both aesthetics and perceived value.

When to use it:
• On belts, wallets, bags, or saddlery for decoration or branding.
• When adding intricate patterns, initials, or custom designs.

How to apply it:
Use quality stamping tools and a mallet. Practice designs on scrap leather first. Work slowly and consistently to avoid uneven impressions.

🎨 Maker’s Tip: Moistening the leather slightly before embossing can help create sharper, more defined impressions.🎨
