At Mortuus Bestia, we pride ourselves on creating handcrafted leather tankards that embody the timeless charm of bygone eras. Our exquisite creations are the result of a decade-long journey, ignited by a simple desire to create a remarkable gift for a cherished family member. Today, we firmly believe that our leather tankards are among the finest in the world, blending history, craftsmanship, and an unapologetic love for all things leather.
Designed and meticulously made in England, each Mortuus Bestia tankard tells a story. We combine the enduring appeal of leather with the rustic beauty of hammered copper, materials steeped in tradition and intimately connected to the art of celebration and conviviality.
Family lies at the heart of our craft. As a husband and wife team, we are privileged to operate from our cosy home workshop, overlooking the picturesque fields of Bourne, Lincolnshire. This setting allows us to cherish precious moments with our two delightful children, infusing our work with the warmth and love of family.
Passion defines everything we create. Every piece that leaves our workshop carries a piece of our soul. We take immense pride in our craft and continuously strive for perfection, constantly refining and improving our techniques. Follow us on social media to stay updated on our latest designs and exclusive offers, as we take you along on our journey of innovation and creativity.
Individually handcrafted and dyed to order, our leather mugs exhibit unique variations in color and leather grain. No two drinking vessels are alike, ensuring that your Mortuus Bestia creation is truly one-of-a-kind. With a generous 22oz capacity—equivalent to 1 UK pint—our fully functional full grain leather mugs are available in a wide range of captivating colors, allowing you to choose the perfect expression of your personal style.
Crafted with passion and attention to detail, each Mortuus Bestia tankard features hand stitching and our distinctive braided leather base. The crowning touch lies in the ability to personalize your leather stein with embossed initials, words, dates, numbers, or common symbols. This customization transforms our tankards into cherished heirlooms, making them the perfect gift for birthdays, weddings, or any special occasion. Each tankard is presented in a custom message engraved gift box, adding an extra layer of sentimentality. From chilled ales to steaming mulled wines, our tankards are suitable for all your favorite beverages. With their rugged elegance, they are designed to elevate any occasion, from cozy nights by the fire to lively gatherings with friends.
When placing your order, simply describe your desired embossing and box message in the notes section, and we will create a mock-up image of the design for your approval. If no box message is required, we will present your tankard in our signature Mortuus Bestia branded gift box.
Your Mortuus Bestia tankard will be ready for dispatch within 3-5 working days, a testament to our commitment to efficiency and quality.
