  • Lois Orford

    I make all the leatherwork here and love my creative space overlooking the beautiful Malvern Hills. I was brought up in a very urban environment but always hankered after the great outdoors and loved making things with my hands - my solution was to get involved in horticulture and create beautiful green pockets of life in my local environment.  Speed forward twenty years and I found myself on a green wood working course in the stunning county of Herefordshire, up until then completely unknown to me. I became addicted to the woodwork and the tools involved and started to make my own leather cases to keep my tools protected. As time progressed I found the leather work had drawn me in and I was truly hooked on its versatility, toughness and durability for outdoor use. Teaming up my skills with Bens was a perfect match and we’ve never looked back.
