► Unique leather goods and accessories

Whitehouse Cox has taken the skills and knowledge of more than 145 years in business and created a truly British brand. Its canvas holdalls, for example, offer a chic but casual take on weekend luggage and are ideal for a country or city break. All are trimmed with luxurious bridle leather, so the handles are comfortable to use.

The Whitehouse Cox canvas briefcase is a great accompaniment to brighten up any working day in the city. With ample space for a laptop and phone and containing a document folder and pen holders, the briefcase is sure to become a truly special piece as it wears in. The barrister briefcase is also a beautiful accessory; very few people have the skills to produce these cases and this should certainly last a lifetime. The Whitehouse Cox bridle leather belt is a must-have for any wardrobe. It is made using only pure vegetable tanned English bridle leather, with no pigmentation or coated finishes, to give a natural surface that will burnish and age beautifully over time. All the belts are hand plaited, which takes any stretch out of the leather and the belt keeps its shape. The wide range of men’s wallets and purses gives a huge choice for personal preferences of how one likes to carry credit cards and phones. In the age of fast-paced electronics, there is still a desire from people who appreciate fine leather goods to carry a beautiful wallet or purse. It is a tactile accessory, a work of art, handmade and worked on by more than seven specialist leather goods makers during the process from cutting to slowly building up each piece. To understand the processes involved in these works of art, why not look at The Making of a Wallet video on YouTube, which gives an insight into these special items that are so seldom found in a world of mass production. Anyone who owns a Whitehouse Cox accessory will want not just one piece but will start to work their way through the collection. Whitehouse Cox has many loyal customers who are delighted to be able to purchase a truly British product. Indeed, take a closer look at the emblem and you will see that Whitehouse Cox is not only Made in England but Hand Made in England.
