Smith & Canova is a British leather goods brand with over a century of family heritage, tracing its roots to 1910 when David Smith Sr. opened his first leather repair shop. Passed down through four generations, the business has grown from a small local operation into a brand stocked across many of the UK's leading retailers. A division of the Extras Group Ltd, Smith & Canova is a multiple winner of British Trade Association fashion category awards, with designers drawing inspiration from travels around the world to develop each new collection. Every bag, purse and accessory in the range reflects a deep, hands-on knowledge of leather – from the selection of raw hides through to finishing and aftercare.
The Smith & Canova story spans more than a hundred years and four family generations. What began as a leather repair service has evolved into a full design and production operation, with the brand involved at every stage: sourcing hides, overseeing manufacture, and ensuring each finished piece meets exacting quality standards. That depth of knowledge is central to the brand's identity and is evident in the clean, refined look of every piece they produce.
The Smith & Canova collection covers a wide range of styles for both men and women, all crafted from carefully selected leathers. Styles include:
Each piece combines sleek, contemporary design with the practical attention to detail that comes from over a century in the trade.
One of Smith & Canova's most distinctive innovations is the Power Purse – a leather clutch with a discreet built-in 4200mAh rechargeable power pack for charging smartphones and portable devices on the go. Available in multiple colourways and made from fine leather, the Power Purse features a zip-around main pocket, credit card sleeves and an internal zip pocket, alongside smart LEDs that display charging status. The power pack is capable of charging the average smartphone more than twice over, making it a practical as well as stylish accessory.
