SPARROWHAWK FOUNDER
About Fiona Ritchie
Since 2014 I have worked from my Hunua Farm workshop in rural NZ.
From when I made my first Pilot Logbook Cover at a working tannery in Sydney, True Leather Craftsmanship has been my gold standard for Sparrowhawk.
Since then I have made over 2500 custom made leather pieces, including wallets, journal covers and pilot logbook covers. Each one was made to order, and personalised for its owner.
