London's Finest Artisans

London has always been the heart of fine craftsmanship, from clothes to fine guns. This film highlights five unique companies and explores how now, more than ever, people are looking for the value and uniqueness that made-to-order confers, whether it be a Savile Row suit or a cricket bat shaped by hand from willow wood. In an age of mass production, London's artisans ensure that beautiful, one-of-a-kind products continue to be made.

That type of craftmanship is just astonishing!

[@lowesonia8551]

Enjoyed a great deal . Craftsmanship has my deepest admiration . Quality in ones own life is a challenge to achieve . An brings great pleasure unless a true perfectionist. And that means !!!!

The price of Purdy guns are staggering. Rory Duffy, the tailor, has his own shop in New York now.

Skip the wig making part 11:29

Dis neice was turned away decades ago. These styles were to be sold by the studio team from where they sat, wherever that is, and the studios were to surround them where they lived. These hands weren't to be limited to film (makers) for chump change as kids films. Yes, now these probably should be handed to a small reproduction house so a group of Tutu designers can get them to the local high school and downtown theatres for viewing, plus shows, to get the tulle compressIONS going on. After that, the local therapists will have what they required to begin with to rub sore ankle, finger and wrist joints and tissues so Diane's dancing dolls can finally budge out of the parades and into commun (cates ions).

It's time You research into Japanese artisanship. Makes Your London scene look rather pale in comparison.

[@lowesonia8551]

Every Country is proud of its finest craftsman . But i thought Japan prides themselves on their politeness. You can not be a true Japanese.

[@takuan650]

You are right. I am not a Japanese person and maybe not particularly polite, but I live in Japan and I am sometimes stunned what some artisans here are able to achieve in various fields of crafts. And - Yes, I should have not been so blunt in my initial comment.@@lowesonia8551

[@isaac_k98]

Give an example of where Japan’s craftsmen exceed London’s for a comparable product...

[@takuan650]

Metal craft. Ever heard of Japanese swords? Knives, scissors, copper craft. Wood craft. Joinery in it's many forms. Paper craft in various forms. Lacquer art. Other crafts that don't even exist in most of Europe like bamboo weaving, silk weaving and dying, flower arrangement, Bonsai, You need more? There are more. I did not intend to knock english craftsmanship or any other, I am just profoundly impressed by the relentless and never ending pursuit of perfection and artistic depth in Japanese artisanship. I am a German boatbuilder live in Japan and have first hand access to Japanese culture and mindsets. I do apologise though for the crude initial comment I made. It came off the moment of slight disappointment after watching this video of London's finest artisans.
