After almost 20 years we're looking back and telling the story of Scaramanga’s journey with 20 iconic items.
It all started with our leather satchels in 2006. Carl sourced just 12 satchels that were similar to the one he discovered in 1999 in a dusty bazaar in Rajasthan.
In 2006 we met a bookbinder, Hitesh who started making handbound journals and sketchbooks.
In 2007, we also found a handful of old shaving boxes that made cute compact jewellery boxes.
In 2009, we designed and made our first compact leather travel bag, inspired by 1970s flight bags.
One of our early starring roles came in 2012 with Tim Burton's Dark Shadows. 10 of our antique chests were in the opening scene on Liverpool Docks.
Not long after designing and making satchels, we launched classically-styled leather messenger bags.
More furniture soon followed including, large cabinets and cupboards like this 1930s Art Deco piece.
Our leather accessories were a good way to reduce leather waste from our bag making. Our travel wallet was inspired by Carl's trips to India. He wanted a compact wallet for his travel docs and money.
