Thoughtful, lasting, and made just for them — here's why leather is always the right choice.

At Parkin & Lewis, every item is handcrafted by me, Joanna — from my small studio in Surrey. I design, cut, personalise and package each order myself, so when you shop here, you’re supporting a one-woman business that’s passionate about beautiful, meaningful design. There is also no one else to blame when I get things wrong.. which is rare.. I promise!

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, a leather anniversary, or looking for a thoughtful gift just because, here’s why leather gifts are always a favourite with my customers.

1. Leather Gifts Last a Lifetime

Real leather is timeless. It softens and deepens in colour as it ages, taking on a rich patina that makes it even more beautiful over time. My coasters, bookmarks, bottle tags and key rings are made from high-quality Italian and vegetable-tanned leather, so they’re designed to be used, treasured, and kept for years.

2. They’re Personal in Every Way

I specialise in personalised leather gifts — from initials to monograms, special dates, or meaningful phrases. Every word is hand-stamped or engraved with care. You can even work with me directly on bespoke orders — I’ve created coasters for weddings, wine tags for events, and even custom pieces for The Savoy.

3. They’re Practical & Stylish

My customers love that these gifts are both useful and beautiful. A personalised leather coaster on a desk, a wine bottle tag for a dinner party, or a bookmark tucked inside a favourite novel — these small moments of luxury brighten everyday life.

4. Perfect for All Gifting Occasions

From 3rd wedding anniversaries (the leather year!) to Father’s Day, teacher gifts, and milestone birthdays like 18th, 30th or 50th — my leather collection has something for everyone. Each item is made to order, so no two pieces are ever the same.

5. You’ll Always Hear From Me — Personally

Customer care is at the heart of what I do. I aim to respond to all messages within the day (unless I take a very very rare holiday) , and I truly value every customer. Whether you're choosing a ready-to-order gift or working on a custom piece, I want your experience to feel personal, warm, and easy from start to finish.
