SmallForge Studios and Always & Forever Louelle

Two Brands, One Workshop: The Story of SmallForge Studios

Welcome to our creative corner. SmallForge Studios is more than just a shop; it’s a partnership between two different styles of making, brought together by a shared love for craftsmanship and a husband-and-wife team.

Always & Forever Louelle

This is where the soul of our products begins. Led by the design eye of the wife half of our duo, this brand focuses on the aesthetic, the intricate, and the timeless. From the delicate etching on a wooden bookmark to the layout of a custom leather purse, every piece starts with her vision.

SmallForge Studios

This is where the sparks fly. Led by the husband, the studio side handles the heavy lifting—fabrication, machining, and technical builds. Whether it’s working with wood, aluminum, or brass, this is where raw materials are transformed into finished goods.

What We Create

We don’t believe in being "boxed in." If we find a material we love, we find a way to make something beautiful with it. Our shop is a curated mix of our favorite things.

Custom Commissions

Sometimes, the best ideas haven't been made yet. We frequently take on custom build requests that require specific planning and quotes. Whether you have a specific vision for a leather piece or a technical fabrication project in mind, we love the challenge of bringing a "one-off" idea to life.

Wood

At SmallForge Studios, we don't just "make" wooden gear; we collaborate with the natural character of the timber. Every piece in our Wood collection is uniquely designed and manufactured in-house, ensuring that no two items are ever identical.

Leather

Most gear wears out; our leather wears in. At SmallForge Studios, we select hides that possess a memory—every scuff from a tournament and every oil from your hands adds to a story that is uniquely yours. We don’t hide the natural range marks or scars; we frame them. Designed and manufactured in-house with a focus on tactile luxury.

MetalCraft

Forget "lightweight"—this is about substance. Our Metal category is where aerospace-grade aluminium meets the heavy, satisfying heft of solid brass. We utilize CNC precision but finish every edge by hand to ensure a seamless, snag-free feel.

3d Prints

Some designs are too intricate for a blade or a forge. Our 3D Print Lab at SmallForge Studios is where we push the boundaries of geometry. From the delicate, weightless lattice of our statement earrings to the precision-engineered snap of our custom bookmarks, these pieces are designed and manufactured in-house using sustainable filaments.
