Hicks & Hides

Founded in 2010, Hicks & Hides has developed into a country wear icon manufacturing, designing and supplying unique leather goods & shooting accessories. The independent, family-run business was founded by Bridie Hicks and is currently based in the Cotswolds in the idyllic village of Broadway where the rustic workshop and showroom promote the heart of the business.

From age 9, Bridie adored going beating with her father and doing so, she collected spent shotgun shells which she would try and incorporate into shoe designs, which was her passion at the time. Regrettably an accident prevented Bridie from pursuing her dreams of attending college for Shoe Design so it was at this point that she realised she would have to take an alternative career route. So she met with a local saddler who taught Bridie how to craft a belt. This was the pivotal moment that triggered the idea of integrating spent shotgun shells into belts and from there onwards, Hicks & Hides was born.

Since then, Hicks & Hides has expanded into more bespoke leather work including travel bags, dog accessories, wallets and much more. All of their belts, dog collars and leads are started and finished by hand in their workshop in the cotswolds, using the very finest leather and fittings to bring you high quality, hand-crafted designs.

Furthermore the company has stayed true to its' roots applying local shoot and village names to their products- with the Broadway holding the key title!
