Look who's wearing Herring Shoes...

John Hagger

Designer leather worker

Shoes: Herring Wasdale rubber-soled Derby shoes in Burgundy Grain, Herring Personalised Oak Bark Keyring in Brown Oak Bark

John Hagger is the founder of Tanner Bates in South West Devon.

Based in Dartington, John creates beautiful products from a special material called Oak-bark leather. He makes the Herring Oak-bark belt for us and we took a video of the process for you to enjoy below.

Oak-bark leather is made by placing the leather into large pits with water and Oak-bark chippings - no chemicals are used whatsoever. The tanning process then takes upto 18 months. This makes the leather very hard wearing and flexible. The perfect belt material in fact.

Please take a look at John's website to see the other leather goods he has on offer.
