Tusting

To really understand where TUSTING came from, we begin our story in the 1870s. The development of the sewing machine had begun to transform the shoe-making industry forever. Elizabeth and John Tusting's son, Jack, grew up immersed in the family leather business. At 17, he enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. Undeterred by this setback, Jack returned home and established his own state-of-the-art tannery in the same village where he grew up. Today, with Charles Pettit's great-great-grandson Alistair at the helm, TUSTING is a global name in luxury leather goods. Our busy Lavendon workshop lies just a couple of miles from the original tannery, at the heart of England's leather country. We've been working with leather since 1875. That's five generations of leather expertise feeding into every Tusting piece.
