We take pride in the fact that many of our customers have been with us for this length of time. We have built up a large customer base both here in the UK as well as through out Europe and the U.S.A. which enables us to supply top quality tooled desk top leathers at a very competitive price. An imitation leather vinyl is also available to which we can apply gold tooling. We strive to keep our prices lower than our immediate competitors.

We use only top quality A grade sheep skins and cow hides which are suitable for all types of desk tops, old and new. We also supply upholstery hides, whole or cut to size. We guild and blind tool them to your requirements, see the range of colours and tooling designs available by clicking on the appropriate tab at the top of the page.
