About Hard Luck

Not Made in a Factory. Not Made for the Fragile.

Hard Luck started with a broken wallet, a busted zip, and a pile of overpriced junk that didn’t survive the year. I’d had enough of buying “quality” that couldn’t take a hit — so I made my own.

What began with a single wallet on a workbench in the Cotswolds turned into a mission:
Build gear that’s rugged, raw, and ready for whatever the hell life throws at it.

I’m Chris. One bloke, two hands, a stubborn streak, and a habit of making things that last longer than they’re supposed to.

🧷 No Fluff. No Filler.

Every piece you see here is hand-cut, stitched, burnished, and packed by me. I don’t outsource. I don’t mass-produce. This isn’t a dropshipping brand pretending to be “craft.”

It’s real leather. Real tools. Real time.

Scars are encouraged. Perfection isn’t.

a keychain that holds its own, or a pouch that’s seen some shit — I’ve got you.
