dunhill Bespoke Objects

“You’ll always find the unusual at Alfred Dunhill”

Bespoke objects at dunhill are born from a pursuit of excellence - where heritage techniques, exceptional materials and the hands of master artisans come together to create pieces of rare character. Each commission is a study in British craft and ingenuity, thoughtfully designed and meticulously realised for the individual. From objets d’art to functional heirlooms, these creations embody the House’s enduring spirit of innovation, elevating the everyday into something extraordinary.

BICYCLE

A celebration of English mobility, this distinguished made-to-order pushbike is inspired by Edwardian cycle frame geometry and reflects upon the dunhill motorities spirit.

Each bicycle is hand-clad in leather at our Walthamstow workshop – where we have been handcrafting the finest leather goods since 1936 - with every joint, curve and surface carefully traced with a signature steering wheel stitch finished by individual artisans. The saddle, modelled on a vintage original, features a flash of red goatskin beneath, a discreet yet distinctive accent.

Completing the piece is a polished metal ‘Tweenie’ – a mischievous devil mascot originally designed by Alfred Diunhill as a car hood ornament in 1913. Following Alfred Dunhill’s motorcycle design, this historic figure of rebellion is mounted on the rear fender, a finishing flourish that links heritage with motion.

The Globe

For the discerning gentleman of curiosity, this globe is both an object of art and adventure. Created in collaboration with Leonardo Frigo, a London-based artisan renowned for his 17th-century Venetian globe-making techniques, it is a singular expression of dunhill savoir-faire.

The wooden frame is layered with plaster and hand-sanded. Each cartography segment is hand-engraved onto copperplates, hand-printed on bespoke Venetian paper formula and then hand-painted in subtle sepia tones. A bespoke cartography segment bears dunhill armorial insignia whilst the iconic Tweenie dances on top of the world.

The base is handcrafted in oak and wrapped in our historic leather workshop in Walthamstow, London, using our signature steering wheel stitch, a nod to the House’s automotive heritage. A tactile expression of house code and design in studied balance.

A true collector’s piece, this globe is an emblem of craftsmanship, made for those who appreciate the details of making as much as the spirit of exploration. Indeed, each globe can be personalised with markers of individual voyages.

BRIDLE LEATHER COCKTAIL TRUNK

A revival of a 1920s dunhill archive piece, this cocktail trunk is a portable expression of British refinement. Handmade in England, it brings together a cohort of skilled artisans: trunk-makers, silversmiths, leather craftspeople and master woodworkers.

The case opens to reveal a wooden tray, wrapped in the finest leather in our historic Walthamstow workshop - and compartments fitted with hand-forged silver elements. Each feature and material chosen for beauty and endurance. Every detail serves its purpose with subtle precision.

Drawing inspiration from the gentleman’s travelling cabinet, it transforms into a mobile cocktail bar complete with designated compartments for glassware, bar tools, a secret drawer for sterling silver cigar tubes and a dunhill Aquarium lighter.

Compact in size but rich in character, this piece is ideal for those who host with intent. An heirloom in the making, engineered for modern ritual and timeless pleasure.
