Welcome Osprey London

Welcome Osprey London

We're thrilled to introduce a curated collection of beautiful products from Osprey London, a luxury leather brand known for its classic but spirited take on British style. Osprey London has a special place in the hearts of the Hartford House owners, and our connection to the brand is a story we love to tell.

The journey began during our twentieth wedding anniversary trip, when we fulfilled a dream of traveling on the Orient Express. As we chatted with fellow travelers on a train through Malaysia, we told them about our new store in St. Helena, California, and our mission to fill it with unique and beautifully-made lines from all over the world. They shared that they were friends of the founder of the elegant Osprey London brand, and connected us as soon as they could.

The founder, Graeme Ellisdon, is a visionary who launched the business in 1980 with just £500, a workshop in his attic, and a passion for creating exceptional leather goods. From the very beginning, Graeme focused on creating timeless, quality-driven pieces. The brand's philosophy is rooted in traditional British craftsmanship combined with an unexpected twist—a playful lining or a vibrant color—that reflects a modern and adventurous spirit. This combination of classic design and unique details is what makes each Osprey London piece so special.

Each product, from a sleek handbag to a durable wallet, is a testament to the brand’s commitment to quality and artistry. It’s this dedication to excellence and elegance that aligns perfectly with the values of Hartford House, and why we are so proud to showcase these lovingly-crafted leather goods from England.
