The Collection

Handcrafted leather handbags and accessories, made in Co. Laois, using premium leather and 100% Irish linen.

Created in small, limited collections, for those who value originality, each piece offers an alternative to mass-produced accessories. Crafted from full-grain and top-grain leather, each creation show-cases the natural character of the hide, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.

My passion is to make Meadow & Hide items that look beautiful, are durable enough to be used every day, and stand the test of time.

This elegant bag is as fabulous as you are . . . Whether you’re meeting friends for coffee, browsing the shops, heading out for dinner, or enjoying a night at the cinema, this timeless piece will work for every occasion.

Available in a variety of different soft Italian leathers, this bag feels as luxurious as it looks. The dark brown vegetable tanned strap will develop a patina and get better with age. Designed with versatility in mind, the strap is fully removable, allowing you to switch to a crossbody strap if you wish (handy for rock-climbing / tight-rope walking ;-) ). The tassel is removable too - you can attach it to your keyring or swap it to the end of the bag if you prefer. It has one internal zippered pocket and is lined with Irish linen.

One-of-One & Limited

A black handbag with gold hardware, featuring a leopard print fabric pocket, a tassel keychain, and a gold  Meadow and Hide logo with a bird design and the text "Meadow & Hide, Handmade in Ireland".

All Meadow & Hide items are made in small numbers, but the pieces in this section are one-of-one or made in extremely small quantities. As some of the leather is remnant pieces from the top European fashion houses, when the leather is gone it can’t be re-ordered. Expect special colourways, design experiments, and pieces with a little extra personality! These also come in their own gift-box, so will make a great gift.
