The Dirty Gnome Leather Co is more than leathercraft it’s a passion project born from 3D field archery and a love of creating handmade leather gear for archers, including archery tabs, bracers, and custom accessories. Every piece of our bespoke leatherwork is a journey in skill, creativity, and patience built for durability, performance, and the joy of time spent outdoors with friends.
As a self-taught leather journeyman, I push my craft with every project, working with respect for the materials and a love of traditional leathercraft techniques. From dragon-scaled handmade archery tabs to custom leather bracers, bespoke quivers, and string keepers for field archery, each piece is built to last no shortcuts, just honest, durable craftsmanship made in the UK
The joy of crafting is best when shared. Collaborating with fellow archers inspires new designs and keeps the work evolving, shaping handmade archery gear that’s both functional and full of story. A single piece may feature a bold solid colour, but order matching leather sets from custom archery tabs and bracers to quivers and string keepers and that’s when the Gnome really starts mixing potions, creating bespoke colour blends to make your gear unique

From pig pens to front covers…
BOW UNNATURAL is live.
A tribute to craft, chaos, and questionable decisions.
