About

Hello,

My name is Max Wright, I am the designer and maker behind Max James Goods. I have spent the last few years studying Architecture and during this time is when I discovered the art of leather craft.

I have my workshop in the heart of Devon's South coast, England, where my surroundings play a big part inspiring and nurrishing my designs.

I work to create clean and simple designs which incorporate classic form with modern, architectural lines. My products are built to last, if treated well they will be the only one you ever need.

I prodominantly work with oak bark tanned leather sourced right here in Devon from J&FJ Baker. They are the only remaining tannery to still use traditional techniques where the process takes over 12 months.

Materials

J & F J Baker have been Oak Bark tanning since 1862 at a tannery that dates back to Roman times. Generations of knowledge have perfected our process to produce beautiful, hardwearing and unique leather with superior tensile strength. Using all natural, locally, and sustainably sourced materials each piece of leather takes over a year to produce and many hours of labour intensive work.
