Made Simple, Made Well, Made Honest
We are a Toronto + Karachi based multi-disciplinary design studio and product manufacturer, making premium quality, leather footwear, accessories, apparel and lifestyle products with down to earth aesthetics since 2011.
Multi-Disciplinary + Multi-National
The studio was founded in 2011 and works across a wide range of scales and disciplines, from leather goods and accessories, to shoe making, garments, and furniture. Taking an industrial approach to craft, Hammer & Smith began simply with a goal to create long-lasting designs with carefully considered details and construction techniques. By this process, products are continually refined over time — rather than in response to a market calendar or set schedule — and introduced as they reach a level of quality and utility.
Our Process & Practices
This kind of meditative deliberation is evident in the details of the studio’s work. , leather goods are patterned with architectural precision and meticulously stitched by hand and basic machines while furniture pieces find an elegant simplicity in spare joinery details inspired by minimalistic woodworking. Each Hammer & Smith design is the result of a rigorous process that values quality, refinement, and simplicity as necessary traits for an object of everyday use.
A hand-sewn leather wallets, classic handcrafted boat shoes, minimalistic bags, and wooden stools are among the common items made by Hammer & Smith with attention and care. These handcrafted details forge a dialogue between the designer, maker, and user, and often, a sense of community. Reflecting the studio’s commitment to socially responsible labor practices, all Hammer & Smith products are designed in Toronto, Canada and made in Karachi, Pakistan with the majority of work being done within 50 kilometer of the studio.
