    Interiors Collection Information

    Our vegetable-tanned leather does great indoors or outdoors. It is the same kind of old-fashioned heritage leather used in equestrian gear (horse tack), so it is meant to be rough-housed and cleans easily!

    We hired a professional architectural renderer to create a relative size / scale drawing and have an information table comparing all the handle styles to each other.

    Our handles and wraps have been used in residential, commercial, and restaurant applications, and we can do custom work.

    Love this handle, it feels very substantial. We had a damaged handle with an odd spacing and this flexed to fit beautifully. Great craftsmanship. Love the option to add lettering.

    These leather handles are beautiful! We put them on our bar area cabinetry and when we recently redid our mudroom we ordered more. We absolutely LOVE them. We get lots of compliments, the quality is incredible and Valerie is very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend them!!

    Refreshingly personal service

    SO happy I discovered Walnut Studio. Valerie & Geoff are amazing. I had a few steps in my tricky requests on my order (I was buying pull handles for a vintage painted dresser) and Valerie made it easy and painless. Gave me great direction and helped me with measurements and a return (my fault, not theirs!) ! Then, when my items arrived (in simple and lovely sustainable packaging- yay!) the product was not only amazing quality but downright special and unique! The craftsmanship is outstanding, as was the service. Felt very professional, yet refreshingly personal. If you want to beautify an item in your home and make it special, Walnut Studio is the place to order! Thank you V&G! I owe you pix!!

    Perfect finishing touch on our mud room bench

    We did a main level project, including our kitchen and then adding a mudroom. The bench required a handle but we were looking for something that would be unique and would fit the style that we had created in the mudroom. This leather strap is the perfect fit for a pull handle on our new wooden bench. The color is perfect with the different grains in the mudroom bench top.

    We haven’t installed the handle yet as it’s going on the back of a barn door, however the quality of the leather looks outstanding. Not to mention the super cute full of love packing! I know it’s a small thing but in my opinion the little things go a long way :)

    My holes are 4.25 center to center - will the 4" pulls be too short?

    Walnut

    The 4" handle will fit anywhere from 4.25" to 3.75" center-to-center (plus or minus 0.25" from the size: 4", 5", or 6"). The beautiful thing about leather is its forgiving flexibility during installation!
