– SOMETHING ABOUT OUR  UPCYCLED, SUSTAINABLE LEATHER –

 

The London Leather Workshop supplies light and medium weight upcycled Italian leather skins and hides, offering high quality at very competitive prices.
Our range of leather stock includes but is not limited to lambskin, nubuck, nappa, cowhide, pig suede and goat suede.
As the leathers come from end of production surpluses, they range in size from whole skins to half skins and offcuts.
We don’t stock a large quantity of leather of the same type (maximum 10 skins of each type) but instead prefer to focus on the variety of styles and colours (about 100).

– SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT –

 

We believe that a more sustainable way to live is both possible and necessary and it starts from the small things that everyone can do in their day to day life.
We commit to conscious behaviors in the products we sell, the services we deliver and during studio practices.
We support others who share our vision, we educate customers and students in making responsible business choices, we provide free services to non-profit organisations and we have a charitable giving policy.
Another important part of our commitment is dedication to the education and support of the next generation of creatives, by always providing discounts on both our products and services, as well as offering free consultations on their projects.
Furthermore, we are proud to collaborate with The Prince’s Trust Enterprise Programme supporting young entrepreneurs by delivering free guidance and training.
