For the first time in over 100 years dunhill have allowed the general public a sneak preview of the hand crafting process used to create their luxury Tradition leather goods, in particular the re-mastered Double Document case.

The movie (below) showcases a Tradition Double Document case being cut from the best quality bridle leather, being hand stitched, and then finished by a highly skilled leather artisan. The same processes were employed by dunhill’s master craftsmen over 100 years ago when Alfred Dunhill converted his father’s saddlery business into a motoring accessories emporium selling amongst its wares, leather driving jackets and luggage.

Today, every piece of dunhill custom leather is made at the Walthamstow leather workshop where the customer’s individual choice of skin, finish, hardware, functionalities and linings are created into completely bespoke and therefore unique large or small leather piece.

What’s more, one person is responsible for the construction of each individual piece through to the final edge painting and cleaning, ensuring ownership and pride in each piece that is produced, resulting in the highest standards of workmanship. A leather card stamped with the name of this artisan is inserted into each piece of luggage to guarantee authenticity..
