Luxury Custom Leather Goods & Luggage That Won’t Fit In The Overhead Bin.

Williams British Handmade Luggage

Sarah Jane Williams creates custom crafted leather goods for men, women and the home that she sells under the name Williams Handmade. But what really wowed us were her unique pieces of  luggage, trunks and cases in incredibly unusual shapes and designs.

Made with elegant bridle leather and hand-forged metal work by Joe Macneil of Macneil Metalcraft, these bespoke pieces from Sarah Williams are both unusual and beautiful.

Sarah set out to create a collection of original and fashionable artifacts utilizing historical and traditional methods of craftsmanship. Incorporating solid brass frames, trim and badging, the high quality leather pieces are entirely saddle-stitched by hand. The result is her “Crafted Fashion” collection.
