One of the most wonderful aspects of owning something crafted by Walnut Studiolo is knowing it was handbuilt for the longhaul. We use that phrase intentionally to mean products that are made to last, no matter what the elements may throw your way. Long bike rides, arduous journeys or rambunctious outings with friends: Walnut is ready for adventure. The details are what matter. Carefully attention is paid to every stitch tightened by hand (never by machine) and all the finer points of making our products. Take a glimpse inside our studio to see how the magic of fine craftsmanship happens. Hint: it's all about patience, dedication and expert knowledge.

Amazing work! Simply organic and utterly delishious! Now my mind is spinning and I love it! I have a lovely Moots and leather wrapping would be quite a personal touch.
