Can I buy smaller piece/panel of leather rather than a full skin/hide?
Can I buy smaller piece/panel of leather rather than a full skin/hide?
We buy our leather in individual hides/skins and therefore sell them in the same way. If we were to cut away smaller segments from the hides/skins, we would be left with smaller cut misshaped hides/skins that are only suitable for smaller panel work, deeming them unusable for larger panel work.
We do have a dedicated Bespoke Room which has lots of off-cuts, panels and discontinued skins. Do make an appointment to visit and see the huge variety available in the Bespoke Room as these are replenished constantly and not available to buy online.
Do you have a trade price list?

A general rule for a discount to apply is quantities purchased of more than 500 Sqft per article, per colour. Discount levels are subject to the Directors discretion. If you need more information, let us know.
