- The Tanner Bates Marque - Allow us to reintroduce ourselves
First impressions matter.
A good maker's marque, or logo should set intent, speak of who you are.

Just as every product we make, everything about our brand identity has to be right, every detail perfect.
Every new product starts in the imagination. Many ideas were tried, many ideas were cast aside. Not quite right, not quite Tanner Bates enough, not perfect.

Our new maker’s marque speaks of all of this.
With inspiration from our local Devonian hilly landscape of which we are so fond, and from our much loved round saddler's knife, a traditional hand tool we use every day.
The clean crisp lines and text are a nod to our modern designs, rooted in heritage with the traditional hand tools and hand making techniques employed.
'Made in Devon' - We are so proud that everything is made by hand here in our South Devon workshop. Provenance matters to us, we know the people who make our raw materials, always sourced as locally and sustainably as possible.

We will be introducing updated packaging and moving away from plastic entirely over the coming months.
This is an exciting journey, and one we are thrilled to be sharing with you.
