Billykirk






















I stumbled across this site whilst looking for some ticking fabric and was really excited by what I saw. Two brothers, Chris and Kirk from the deep South of America were always keen to have their own company together, they know the name would be Billkirk, but they didn’t know what the business would be.

Their first product idea came to them after a successful op shopping find, a 1970s watch strap. Kirk got lots of some compliments, they got excited, they found some leather making supplies and that was that. Their style is old school, and has been influenced by working alongside Amish leather workers and following the time honoured skills of handmade leather craft. They do all finishing in-house, which is evident in the final products, which are stunningly simple and elegant.

A quote from their website: "You can't fake quality anymore than you can fake a good meal."-William S. Burroughs
