At Hill and Friends we pride ourselves on ensuring that when you purchase a Hill and Friends bag you’re not only buying quality craftsmanship but you’re purchasing luxury that designed to last and ensure that our production is as friendly to the planet as it is in its finished form.

We manufacture 100% of our bags in the UK, in a unique factory established in 1826 in the heart of the Somerset countryside, an area long famed for its skilled craftspeople. The factory we work with not only handcraft our finished handbags but also make a huge amount of our leathers from their Somerset Tannery, which has been making high quality leathers in England for almost 200 years.

Every leather produced at the factory is a by-product of local farming businesses, which would otherwise be discarded if if not repurposed by our tannery.

A member of the Leather Naturally Group, our factory is held to the highest standards of local and cruelty-free production and eco-conscious manufacturing methods.

At Hill and Friends we create bags that are designed to last and choose to manufacture small production runs that only meet our requirements. Instead of encouraging our friends to purchase new, we choose to emphasise the benefits of restoration to ensure that our bags remain in as happy a condition as the day they were received.

Through our LoveWorn re-sale programme we support the sustainable benefits of the circular selling by enabling our customers to sell their pre-loved purchases ensuring that every bag is utelised for as long as possible.
