Billy Tannery

Billy Tannery was founded in 2016 by Jack Millington and Rory Harker after discovering that most goatskins from the UK food industry were wasted. They built the first microtannery in Britain in over 50 years, located on a farm in the Midlands, to process these skins into high-quality leather. The tannery uses a sustainable bark tanning method that recycles 90% of water and turns waste into compost. Their products include bags, wallets, footwear, and accessories made from vegetable-tanned goat and deer leather. All items are handmade in small workshops in Somerset and Leicestershire, emphasizing British craftsmanship and sustainability. Billy Tannery aims to reduce waste while celebrating natural leather's unique grain and durability.
