Leather Binding Origins

The history of leather binding can be traced to circa 813 / 814 B.C. from the Carthaginians in modern Tunisia.

Leather is one of the oldest natural materials known to man. But what is it that makes leather so popular?

The story of leather begins as early man used the skins of animals to protect themselves in the Ice Age.

We source leather for each specific order as there are so many factors to consider when manufacturing bespoke items.

Leather tiebacks for curtains have become very popular in recent years and add a luxurious look and feel to feature-windows.

Leather’s classic look and feel, along with its strength and durability, will always make it an ideal material for handles.

Leather can be cut into any shape using our 20 tonne press machine, speeding up production and reducing waste.

We are able to personalise your leather goods with various embossing techniques used to add logos or specific messages.

We are equipped to handle a wide variety of leather types and finishes, from smooth-grain sheepskin to heavily printed hide.

Leather can be colour-matched and we have trusted tanneries we have used for many years to match your specific requirements.
