"Customised grip bag"

Henry was attentive and meticulous when I wrote to him asking for a grip bag with a few alterations so it could double up as both a work and weekend away bag. This includes a leather zipped pouch which is slightly expandable, so I can securely store a laptop.

He responded quickly and gave my request a lot of thought. He is not interested in a quick sale; instead he takes the time to make sure he is creating what the customer needs.

I am delighted with the bag. The leather is beautiful and supple, and the bag has a real sturdiness to it.

Colleagues and friends have spontaneously complimented it, as the quality is apparent. I highly recommend Henry and based on my experience what he offers is tremendous value for money.

"Henry Tomkins makes the best bags"

My 12 year old Henry Tomkins leather satchel needed some attention after carting around too many cables, computers and power supplies.
Henry came to the rescue and I posted it to him for a repair on the day before I went on holiday.
Not only did it beat me back home, it was repaired to its former glory with the same love it was built.
Thank you Henry, I’d recommend your bags (and have!) and your customer care is faultless.
Buy his bags and you’ll have a real bag for life.

"Beautifully made. Highly Recommended"

I am so delighted that my Husband discovered Henry’s website when he searched the internet for leather satchels.
Henry was so extremely helpful with my enquiry and processing of the order for my satchel.
It arrived within the timescales advised and arrived the next day after dispatched.
I cannot tell you how very pleased I am with the satchel… beautifully crafted, exactly the leather and colour expected and I asked for a slightly longer strap which is just perfect.
I couldn’t find what I wanted in the shops and so pleased I couldn’t because I do not think anything I have seen matches the quality for the price I paid. In the next few months I shall be ordering a handbag next!
Thank you Henry for your lovely work. I love it!

"Henry Tomkins for Life!"

I am awaiting receipt of my third "Henry Tomkins" creation. The other two have not worn out or suffered breakages of any kind in fact over ten and fifteen years of heavy use they have improved with age. Henry's work is lovely, the materials are lovely and in my contact with Henry he has been lovely. So you can keep your status symbol (why when ever third person has one... mind you I do live in Essex) over priced "designer brands" I am Henry Tomkins for life!

"Beautiful Large Zipper Bag. High quality, lovely leather"

I bought The Large Zipper as a present for my daughter.
It is an absolutely beautiful bag. The leather is extremely high quality as is the craftsmanship. You will not find a better place to buy a hand made leather bag than from Henry. Lovely man to buy from, kept me updated with my purchase and dispatch. Can highly recommend. Thank you Henry.

"I've had one of Henry's briefcases for over 20 years..…"

I've had one of Henry's briefcases for over 20 years. I still love it, even though I have no real use for a briefcase any more! I emailed him today for advice on giving it a little TLC and he responded almost immediately. A friend also has had his for a similar amount of time after seeing mine.
Highly recommended - British craftsmanship at it's best!

"Leather Briefcase"

I have recently received the leather briefcase that I had ordered from Henry. I was impressed by his honesty, as well as his craftmanship. Henry was always accommodating to my requests and queries. The quality of the bag itself was fine, the leather was thick and of good quality. Unfortunately it seemed that some of the coating from the brass lock had chipped off, but buffing and polishing should take care of it. The bag itself did not come wrapped in bubble wrap or any other protective material which was a shame as it may of protected the brass coating from chipping. In conclusion I do believe that the bag was worth the money. I would be happy purchasing from Henry again.

"Incredible Craftsmanship and Value"

Recently purchased the Essential Briefcase and could not be happier with it.

It is solidly built, handsomely designed, and an incredible value for the level of craftsmanship. The leather has a great color and the details are perfect. Henry also was very responsive and helpful. I can not recommend HT Leather highly enough!

Thanks again!

"Beautiful Tote Bag"

Henry is amazing. He has just made me the most beautiful tote bag, lined with a fabric I chose and ordered for him. Nothing was too much trouble and the communication was excellent throughout. If you want a quality leather bag I would look no further than Henry!
