Hello everyone, new member here :wave:

I'm on the hunt for some lovely dyed-through veg tan leather. I make dog accessories and bags too, so I need something fairly thick. does anyone have their go-to shop for veg tan? it seems to be trickier than I thought it would be.. unless im searching in the wrong area of the internet! TIA 

 

 

pic for attention..

Jt bachelors in London would be my go to, however they don’t have a website with stock listings so you would need to go in person, from my last visit I recall dyed veg tan in green, black and red, May have been other colours 

All in various thickness and they have a splitter on site

If you fancy black or shades of brown, bridle leather has a nice finish and a smooth pasted back (moss-back).  It is veg tanned leather stuffed with fats and waxes.  Sedgwick bridle leather seems to be a favorite in the UK.  Available from Abbey England and other shops.

Lovely looking bag Bec! :thumbsup:

Online, in no particular order, I use J Woods, AA Crack, Le Prevo and Abbey.

If you use Facebook look for the Leatherworkers UK group. Lots of resource lists and you will get a lot of UK-based users' experience -- especially useful if you're looking for something specific.

Other than "veg tan" (which is a very wide church) and dyed what qualities are you looking for?
