Brooks England, established in 1866 by John Boultbee Brooks in Hockley, Birmingham, began as a manufacturer of leather goods. The company ventured into bicycle saddle production in the 1880s, securing its first saddle patent in

1882. Over the years, Brooks has become renowned for its high-quality leather saddles, such as the iconic B17 model introduced in the 1890s, which remains in production today. Despite changes in ownership, including acquisition by the Raleigh Bicycle Company in 1962 and later by Selle Royal in 2002, Brooks continues to uphold its tradition of crafting durable and comfortable bicycle saddles.

All jewellery findings and chains are made with Stainless Steel (the most recyclable material available) unless otherwise stated.
