Words by Alex Simpson, founder
When I made my first leather bag at 13, I never dreamed that one day I would be at the helm of Beorma, a company born from a lifelong passion for leather.
After a 15-year career in bomb disposal, I came home in May 2022 with a deep-rooted wish to work with leather, and our first child, Jake, on the way. Within two weeks I had put together a small workshop and got to work.
Three months later, during a sleepless night rocking Jake to sleep, I read about the closure of a four-generation leather company in the heart of Walsall. I couldn't let the talent of those artisans be dispersed and lost, and that was when the seed of Beorma was planted.
Beorma is a celebration of heritage and of the artisans who bring leather to life. We are here to keep Walsall's craft alive, and to share it with you.
