Alfred Dunhill Ltd is a British-based company specialising in men's luxury leather goods, writing implements, lighters, timepieces, fragrances and clothing.
The business was developed in 1923 by Alfred Dunhill after he inherited his father's saddlery business on London's Euston Road. Responding to the growing demand for cars, Dunhill developed a line of luxury automobile accessories called 'Dunhill's Motorities'. This first collection included car horns and lamps, leather overcoats, goggles, picnic sets and timepieces. He gradually changed direction by focussing on making gadgets based on the art of cigarette smoking, recognizing that a high quality, practical and yet decorative lighter was essential alongside the other accessories.

Shagreen is a type of rawhide consisting of untanned animal skin, commonly from sharks or rayfish, which is dyed with a green vegetable dye.
