Meaningful gifts, beautifully made
As the festive season draws near, discover the joy of giving something truly personal with the Hands of Tym 2025 Gift Guide. Each piece from our Oxfordshire workshop tells a story — of craftsmanship, creativity, and care — designed to be treasured for years to come.
At Hands of Tym, every leather item begins as an idea on the workbench of our founder and expert Leathersmith, Georgie Tym. From initial sketches to the final stitch, each product is handmade using the finest Italian vegetable-tanned leather — selected not only for its quality and beauty, but for the way it grows richer and more characterful over time.
Whether you’re looking for a timeless handmade bag, a personalised accessory, or something entirely bespoke, our collection offers gifts that carry thought and intention in every detail. For an extra-special touch, many of our designs can be customised or initialled, making them as unique as the person receiving them.
Give the Gift of Experience
If you’re searching for something a little different this year, why not give the gift of making? Our Leather Craft Courses — held in our Oxfordshire studio — offer a hands-on experience where participants design and craft their own leather goods under Georgie’s expert guidance.
And for those who prefer to create from home, our DIY Leather Bag Kits bring the workshop experience to the kitchen table — complete with everything you need to make something beautiful, no previous experience required.
Tools for Makers
For the craft enthusiast in your life, our range of leather tools and supplies is carefully curated and personally tested by Georgie herself. From precision knives to burnishers and hardware, every tool is chosen to inspire creativity and support makers of all levels.

Thoughtful, Sustainable, and Small-Batch
Every order is made, packed, and sent from our small UK workshop — with care for both the product and the planet. For every order over £50, we plant a mangrove tree in Madagascar through our partnership with Ecologi, helping restore ecosystems and support local communities.
So whether you’re celebrating a loved one, a maker, or yourself — choose something that tells a story, supports a small business, and lasts a lifetime.
Shop small. Gift beautifully. Share the magic of making.
