Went in for some hides to recover chair seats, was blown away by the sheer choice. However, still trying to work out how all the hides were indexed, so spent a long time looking for the right leather for my job.

Matthew Doye
The shop has an excellent range of leather goods plus skins (sheep, kid, and bovine), offcuts, accessories and tools for your own projects. The staff were very helpful.
When I worked there in the 1990s then the working practices were antiquated like something from a 1950s British film. I hear things are much improved now.

Highly reccomended for quality and choice! We visited this store two years ago and bought several hundreds of pounds worth of clothes, as well as a wonderful purple holdall. My son's leather jacket and my leather skirt are of excellent quality and have aged well. The workmanship and colours of all the items we purchased are superb and have been well received birthday gifts over time. Gloves, wallets, purses, unusual key holders in the shape of waistcoats (useful presents for men ) as well as excellent, friendly service (AND a cafe for cake and a cuppa to sustain the shoppers)..... all added up to an enjoyable afternoon.
