Mulberry bag rescued with great skill
Alison fixed my much loved Mulberry bag. One of the handles had been chewed by a fox cub who came into our house and wrecked havoc with good taste. Alison managed a perfect colour match and my 'froggy bag' looks perfect again. I would so recommend Alison to anyone looking for a bespoke repair.

I can't recommend Alison more highly - always helpful and knowledgeable, she took an old, worn-out but much-loved belt and transformed it into one looking like new, even adding a special little touch for the recipient along the way.
Leather belt repairs
I have been looking for someone professional at leather repairs, for sometime, so I was delighted to come across Alison, from the time of contacting her, to the completed repairs, she has been very, clear in what she can achieve, and I am really pleased with her work, I would definitely recommend her work, and would certainly use her again!!!

Great service and high quality result…
Great service and high quality result for a project to restore an antique campaign chair.
Would recommend Alison for any leather work.
Truly great in every respect
From the initial enquiry (a request to produce a belt for a buckle that I was to send) all the way through to receiving the final article Alison was attentive, communicative and professional. Even though I was fully at fault for dragging out the process (it took me quite some time to send the belt buckle), no frustration was shown and turnaround of an absolutely perfect-to-requirements belt was rapid as soon as it was received by Alison. As such, I can find absolutely no faults whatsoever in terms of Hadston Leather's core business.
The icing on the cake, and the thing that makes a good product truly great in my mind, is the commitment to local and historic industry: leather from Walsall, the home of UK leather manufacturing (and if you're get a belt in full a Walsall-forged brass buckle as well!). As such, not only are the product quality and service absolutely perfect, if comes with a feel-good buzz to boot.
Repairing an old Leather belt
From the moment of my first enquiry, I felt well looked after and updated along the whole process. I wanted to repair an old belt. Alison was very open to hearing what I wanted to achieve and used her skills and knowledge to restore my old trusty belt. (over 40 years old!).
I could not be happier.
