Welcome to Handmade By Alex

A little about me, I started working with leather in 2014 during recovery from hip surgery, since then I have found a real passion for the craft.

I took a job with Tandy Leather in their flagship Manchester store, where I became the Senior Sales Advisor and Social Media Manager.

During my time with Tandy I had the opportunity to meet and visit with a whole host of leather workers from around the world, picking up on the nuances from each profession to compliment my leather work education.

A Master Saddle Maker and TV/Film costume department both have different methods to get a similar result, as do fashion designers and fetish wear manufactures.

I have been lucky enough to start a “collection” of these multi industry skills and here is where I shall share them, for all to learn from.

I am open to all suggestions and love learning new skills and more efficient methods, so please do share.

Learn, Inspire, Teach.
