Mudlark & Co Handcrafted Leather Goods and Bespoke Home Accessories

Mudlark & Co is an artisanal creative studio and workshop situated on the Kent coast in Margate, where the founders have established a practice rooted in fine art, fashion design, and interior aesthetics. The story of Mudlark & Co began over a decade ago with the launch of handcrafted sandals, a venture that laid the foundation for a business model centered on organic growth and manual craftsmanship. Eschewing the traditional path of outsourcing and mass production, the studio prioritizes the value of being created by our own hands, a philosophy that fosters a nurturing and grounding experience for the creators. The work of Mudlark & Co has evolved to encompass a diverse range of products, with a significant focus on exploring leather craft for the home. This exploration has resulted in a line of leather lampshades, including sculpted, mini, and pendant designs. These items are meticulously crafted in their Margate workshop using techniques such as wet sculpting and lino cutting to create unique, solid leather forms. Additionally, Mudlark & Co offers bespoke services, such as custom wall sconce designs, allowing clients to collaborate on unique lighting solutions. Their product range also extends to fashion accessories, including artisan bags made with vegetable-tanned leather and traditional rag rug techniques. Every piece produced by Mudlark & Co is a testament to their multidisciplinary background and their commitment to high-quality, handcrafted design. By partnering with local creatives, the studio remains deeply integrated into its coastal creative community.
