Hands of Tym

Profile:

Hands of Tym is a Luxury Leather goods operation focusing on ‘one by one’ humanised manufacture. Every piece unique and handmade. Using only the finest materials sourced as locally as our surviving supply chains will allow, our artistry is based on combining the traditional techniques of leather craft with a modern design aesthetic where functionality is key. Bringing ownership of craft back to the individual, reversing a division of labour and ensuring every piece holds a unique bond to the maker. Dreamt up in 2010 and realised in 2016 following a varied career in Accessories design and development. Founding Leathersmith is Designer Georgie Tym, a Cordwainers graduate on a private endeavour to keep English craft and industry alive. Georgie works as Leather Accessories Technical lecturer at the London College of Fashion and continues to work on private bespoke work alongside the development of the Hands of Tym brand. Each product is handmade by Georgie in her workshop in Banbury, Oxfordshire. Available for design, development, sampling, consultation and training.
