The Studio & Visits
Our Eco-Friendly Studio
The CARV leather studio is an original oak-framed building with straw-bale insulated walls constructed by community volunteers, surrounded by the stunning natural coastal landscape of the Hartland Peninsula - the perfect place for inspiring beautifully sustainable designs.
We now welcome visitors to the CARV studio as a shop with regular weekly hours. The studio is within our smallholding where we also grow food in a soil friendly no-dig way, manage willow and hazel coppices, and are in the process of creating meadows, wilderness, an organic fruit orchard and edible forest.
It’s well worth a visit.
Studio & Shop Opening Hours
The CARV studio is currently open weekly on Friday 11 - 2pm and Saturday 11 - 4pm. If you can’t make this we would be delighted to open for you outside of these times - please get in touch with CARV to arrange a visit.
For those further afield, the online leather goods store is always open and leather samples can be sent out free of charge.
We run exclusive Sample Sales online from time to time so do keep an eye out on our social media pages.

Let customers speak for us
This is the bag I've been looking for - I needed something small and compact to carry a few bits and this is more than I could have hoped for! It is clearly made with care and is a beauty - thank you!
This cross body pioneer is gorgeous… click the cheeky inner pocket that means you can just pop your phone or keys in. Just the right size. Top quality, thank you again x
Amazing as usual! never disapoimted with anything I buy from Carv, Becky you are amazing! thanks so much xx
Just gorgeous, I buy Carv bags for my daughter’s birthdays for a while now and they are always received with absolute joy, used every day and lovingly looked after. I cannot recommend the styling, quality of materials and workmanship highly enough.
I am obsessed with my new CARV bag - never has a bag been so beautifully made! I can't wait for future purchases - Beckys craftsmanship is exquisite!
Beautiful bag, beautifully made. This is my second Carv bag and I am once again, absolutely delighted with it. Thank you Becky.
My second CARV bag is just as lovely as the first (first is different colour and style and still going strong!). I love the ethos of CARV and couldn't be happier.
Beautifully made wallet in the most gorgeous soft leather. Lovely subtle customisation too - feels like an item that will be used and treasured for many years. Thank you.
So beautifully made and of such high quality. It pained me to wrap it up as a gift!
I just love love love the elegant design and I own too many CARV bags to hide it ☺️
An absolutely beautiful bag, perfect size, lovely soft leather and excellent craftsmanship. Very impressed with the quality! Thank you Carv!
Stunningly beautiful bag Absolutely love it!! Thank you so much Becky Xx
Beautiful product, perfectly crafted, very high quality. It was a gift for my wife's birthday, and she loves it.
I ordered a custom version of the bifold leather wallet with light blue leather inside to add a little colour when you open it. I LOVE IT. Becky provided excellent customer service and was very accommodating, the order was delivered within three weeks which given it is hand-made to order seemed totally fair. It's the second item I have bought from CARV London and I couldn't recommend them enough. The materials, workmanship and design are of outstanding quality. Thank you!
I had originally bought this purse in 2017 on a market in London, sadly I lost it in 2018 but kept thinking about it for about 5 years... I'm so delighted I could find it again online and very happy with my purchase, truly unique design and quality :) thanks Becky!
