Glaze & Gordon Salmon Needlepoint Hip Flask - 15% of sales go to the Atlantic Salmon Trust

Exclusive Salmon design only available at Glaze & Gordon made by Smathers & Branson and 15% of sales go to the Atlantic Salmon Trust. 

Glaze & Gordon are delighted to have joined forces with the Atlantic Salmon Trust to design this exclusive Salmon key fob with 15% of sales being donated to the Trust. A matching needlepoint belt is also available. 

We have worked with the AST and the classic needlepoint company Smathers & Branson to create this beautiful, classic Salmon design on a dark blue background. A must for any salmon and fishing enthusiast. 

A 6oz stainless steel hip flask and Smathers & Branson's signature needlepoint made from the finest French cotton and finished with the finest-grain Italian leather.

We have also designed a card wallet & key fob featuring the same salmon design and top-grade leather.

The Atlantic Salmon Trust exists solely for the protection of wild salmon and sea trout. Its aim is to create a positive future for these threatened species; using scientific research to understand their decline and put evidence-based solutions into practice to better protect them.

Smathers & Branson have created these exquisite accessories by searching high and low for the best Artisans in the business, and finding him in Vietnam. Each key fob is lovingly hand-stitched and assembled – the incredible art of Needlepoint is time consuming, but Smathers & Branson have helped to create a Cottage Industry in Vietnamese villages supplying hundreds of people with a flexible job and income to aid their lifestyles.

Smathers & Branson joined forces in 2004, after looking to buy needlepoint belts and realising there was not a company that created the finished item. The biggest challenge they faced was finding an artisan skilled enough to create a product to the perfect standard they were looking for – but after spending time in Vietnam and meeting with stitchers face to face to outline exactly what it was they were seeking they found their artisans and have formed an incredible working relationship. Their new partner had plans to teach their needlepoint craft to 100 of his fellow villagers to provide jobs in the community, that were flexible around the rice harvest in the area. This mutualistic relationship has continued to grow; the villagers have been provided with a wonderful opportunity whilst creating beautiful, individual pieces for Smathers & Branson. Since the success of the belts, the company has gone on to make lots of different needlepoint accessories – all special, unique and make a wonderful addition to our Glaze & Gordon range.
