Back when I made my first leather bag at age 13, I'd never have dreamed that one day I would be standing where I am today, at the helm of Beorma, a company born from a lifelong passion for leather...

In May 2022, I returned home from my 9th trip to the middle east, after a 15-year career in bomb disposal, working in some of the most incredible places and with the most outstanding people around the world. The years spent overseas were filled with challenges and moments that tested every fibre of my being but none of this had prepared me for the year ahead.

While I loved my career in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces, I had always held a deep-rooted desire and passion for working with leather. I spent most of my free time drawing up patterns and dreaming of eventually coming back home to England and creating unique bags and leather goods that would last for generations. 

I had read about the upcoming closure of Whitehouse cox, a 4-generation old Company in the heart of Walsall, England. Walsall is a town steeped in a rich history of leatherwork and has been the epicentre of this craft in the UK since the 19th century. 

The idea of all the incredible experience and talent of these wonderful artisans yet again being dispersed and potentially lost forever filled me with more sadness than I could have anticipated. It was in the face of this adversity that I made a choice and decided to take the leap to create something bigger than I had ever imagined.

Beorma is not just a company; it is a testament to resilience, a celebration of heritage, and a dedication to the artisans who breathe life into leather. We've embarked on a journey to keep the legacy of Walsall's leather craft alive, we're here to share our passion, craftsmanship, commitment to those values with you. 

Welcome to Beorma, where every piece we create is a story waiting to be told, an embodiment of generations of dedication and love for the art of leather.

Every stitch, a story.
