Founded in Cambridge by Master Leather Artisan Lord Will Trevelyan Hodges, Treve is a private atelier dedicated to the discipline of French leathercraft. Each object is handmade and authenticated through a wax-sealed ledger. Production is limited by time itself; perfection is the only constant.

There are faster ways to make a bag.

But speed has no place here.

In a quiet atelier in Cambridge, one man sits at a wooden bench.

Lord Will Trevelyan Hodges — a craftsman by compulsion, a perfectionist by nature.

Trained within the Hermès ateliers of France,

he mastered the discipline of traditional saddle stitching —

two needles crossing through a single hand-cut hole,

forming a seam that time itself cannot break.

Yet his work has moved beyond tradition.

Over years of solitude and study, he has refined each gesture —

Subtle improvisations that make every Treve piece unmistakably his own.

There are no apprentices, no machines, no noise.

Only the rhythm of linen thread, the scent of French hide, the discipline of patience.

Each Treve piece bears his mark — numbered, recorded, sealed in wax.

Five Rachael bags a year. Nothing more. Nothing less.

To commission is to enter a lineage, not a transaction.

Because true luxury is not the possession of many,

but the perfection of one.

Treve.

The house where time is handmade.
