Customer Feedback
"My husband and I both did the belt making course with Roslyn who was very accommodating to our needs. She took the time to understand what we were looking for by doing this course and explained in detail what we would cover.
The course itself was really enjoyable and we learnt new techniques which will be very useful for us in the future. The location was lovely and the course was at a good pace. Roslyn is very knowledgeable in her work and explains things very well. We would both highly recommend her to everyone."

Quality hand-stitched Belt Course
Personalised Journals and Pen Pouch
“I have just received these two stunning journals today. I have never felt more compelled to leave a review. Two stunning, bespoke, hand made journals.
These two Journals are the product of Roslyn's unrivalled craftsmanship and perfectionism. Right from the get go Roslyn listened to my complicated and specific ideas with such care and attention. It wasnt long before she had some ideas only experience could think of that I absolutely loved. Roslyn sent me samples of at least 5 leathers matching my vision to look over. Images of thread options. Spent time discussing designs, patterns, and where to place them on the journals, sizes, notebook selections, accessory add ons... you name it she covered it.
Everything from the leather choice, colour, thickness, size and design overall are just better then I imagined, even after discussing the ideas all the way through. They are just perfect. Entirely hand stitched, hand tooled and naturally dressed. it is a work of art and a practical masterpiece in my day to day use toolbox.”

"After many unsuccessful searches, both in shops and online, I was delighted to meet Roslyn Whiting who was very happy to produce what I wanted; a high quality leather wallet with a ring attached so that I could secure it to my trousers since I have a habit of dropping things. Roslyn has produced the perfect answer, beautifully made in high quality leather with a ring on one side. My wallet is now secured by clothing and easier to remove from my pocket. I have no hesitation in recommending Roslyn's work and I am sure I will buy other items from her in the future. “

“As the very lucky and proud recipient of the journal and page cuff, they are beautiful and the quality of the leather and skill in making them is outstanding! Thank you!!”
Brian, Hook (Hampshire)
“I purchased the cuffs for my husband as a Xmas present. He is an avid reader and will only purchase British made products. The cuffs were beautifully wrapped and presented. The leather is beautiful and the craftsmanship impeccable. The stitching was a lovely contrast to the fine leather. I think they were definitely top of his gift list. I will certainly be buying the cuffs for other people in the future.”

Personalised Leaderfoot Page Cuff
“I bought a bookmark as a gift for a friend, and Roslyn very kindly personalised it with beautiful hand-tooled initials. My friend said this was her favourite present this year! I will definitely purchase again from Roslyn Whiting Leathercraft.”

“I have bought two belts for my husband. Two different designs a couple of years apart. The craftsmanship that goes into these beautiful belts is outstanding. You can feel the love and care that goes into these beautiful belts. My husband loved the belts. The quality of the leather is of a very high standard, even how the belts were packed and they arrived in beautiful gift boxes.
I have recently purchased some leather keyrings which also look amazing.
I also love the newsletter I receive each month you can really get a feel for the products and the woman behind the business. You can sense it’s love and passion.
I will definitely be purchasing again in the future. One very happy customer.”

“I ordered a leather notebook cover (with notebook) for my fiancé Catherine for Christmas (2020). It was handmade and bespoke with blue stitching and included her initials for that extra bit of personalisation. Roslyn was extremely helpful and friendly and offered a fantastic service. The notebook is exquisitely made and absolutely beautiful. Would highly recommend. Thank you Roslyn”

Personalised Leaderfoot Journal
“There are a few leather craft people about but as soon as I met Roslyn I knew she was the person who could teach me how to do a belt for my son with me supplying the buckle. Roslyn said yes and I booked on her course. It was so good I want to go back and make a belt for myself. A very talented heritage craftsperson whose knowledge made the afternoon enjoyable and the location was perfect.”

“Roslyn, the belts arrived this morning and are beautiful, especially the dark tan stitched. I am over the moon, thank you. Will be in touch again or hopefully will call on you in June, if we get out of the current mess [Covid-19]. Thank you again.”

Bespoke belt, stitched the full length
“Roslyn provides excellent customer support. It’s her attention to detail along with her great communication skills that enable this. She is always helpful and quickly responds with realistic information about products, alternatives, pricing and timescales. She’s keen to listen to customer needs and will provide bespoke solutions where possible. All of the above is conveyed in a friendly, clear and positive manner.
Her products show she is a highly skilled crafts person. A real asset are her short videos explaining the traditional processes behind her work and where her gorgeous vegetable tanned leather is sourced from. Much of her work takes inspiration from the natural world around her and my first purchase was in October 2020 when amidst the glory of Autumn I was drawn to her vibrantly coloured leather leaves. It’s clear that she cares about the environment as everything arrives packaged in sustainable materials too.
With Roslyn I feel I know the full journey and provenance of my purchases. All in all, a lovely talented lady who makes beautiful leather goods to be treasured. “
Mairi, Galashiels
“My husband was delighted with his gift. He is fastidious about damage to pages. The cuff is beautifully made, practical and different. I was looking specifically to buy gifts only local or as near as I could but nothing from China!!! Nothing to add to the plastic mould. I succeeded from your cuff to handmade rope soaps. Good luck with your business, I will recommend your site. I highly recommend it.”
Lorraine, Dalkeith
Moulded Wee Leather Birch Leaf and Page Cuff
“Really, really pleased with my leather birch leaf, just the job to keep my needles and row counters in one place when I need them. Also looking forward to using the page holder when I’ve finished my Moomin collection! ”
Sue, Stoke-on-Trent
“Just received my son’s wallet for his birthday and we are just so pleased with the quality of the calf leather and workmanship - or should that be work-woman-ship?
Roslyn was just as keen as we were to get this right and did everything she could to achieve just that. Shopping for a special gift during lockdown will never be easy but we worked together, and now I can’t wait to see the reaction to this very individual of presents.
Thank you for not only James wallet but also for the patience and time taken to make sure you got a very satisfied customer.
I would not hesitate in recommending Roslyn to anyone in a quandary about what to buy for that special person. ”
