Bennett Winch - Handle Without Care

It looks like it belongs in a 1970s five-star hotel—and it’s got no problem with that. The latest Technical Suede Collection in Tobacco Brown, however, would feel more at home in a room being lovingly rearranged by Keith Moon and friends than in the suite next door, where guests are complaining to the hotel manager. Simply put, it looks luxurious, but it’s built for a kicking.

Bennett Winch has always been driven by a mission to create without compromise. The brand is passionate about materials that not only perform to the highest level but also possess the character to age gracefully. They call it “heirloom quality.” From full-grain Tuscan leathers that scar and soften over time to solid brass hardware that tarnishes into a buffed bronze if left unpolished, each material boasts the rare ability to develop a patina—the mark of good pursuit.

The new Tobacco Brown Suede may be the most immediate to respond. From the moment it’s handled, the material takes on a life of its own. Its rare tactility is enhanced by a unique moss-backing and surface treatment, first developed for the brand’s 2023 Storm Grey Suede range, making each hide completely waterproof and resistant to almost anything adventure can throw at it.

The collection includes six new pieces, all handmade in England by master craftsmen and designed for those who take on the rough with the smooth.
