- Codis Maya
Codis Maya was founded in 1987, principally creating men’s accessories using vitreous enamel. A variety of other materials are also used such as precious stones, wood, horn, silver and gold. Since its first collection of pins and badges for Liberty in the 80s, Codis Maya has grown to become a recognised name, predominantly behind the scenes of the menswear business, creating exclusive collections of jewellery and accessories for some of the world’s luxury fashion houses.
Each Codis Maya design is illustrated by hand. These go on to be developed in British factories and workshops using highly skilled and artisanal processes that the company strives to preserve in an age of mass manufacturing.
The results are beautiful bespoke objects that have passed through the hands of up to ten different craftspeople and take around three months to create.

Founded in 1934, Ettinger is one of the finest luxury leather goods manufacturers in Great Britain and the only one with a Royal Warrant to HRH The Prince of Wales. Ettinger takes great pride in its craftspeople. Among the last to still make leather goods in the UK, the quality of our goods and attention to detail are paramount to its success. The brand continuously improves its quality control to ensure the highest standards throughout the production process.
