Snakehive was born in 2012: the bright idea of father & son Nick and Tim Thorp. Back then, touch screen smartphones were new on the block, but without protection, they were breaking - instead of making - waves. The forward-thinking duo came up with a solution to reject plastic fast-fashion and wrap mobile phones in beautifully handcrafted leather cases. Being digitally- and design-minded, they added smart functionality in there too.
