Members jsb Posted February 20, 2011 Members Report Posted February 20, 2011 Hi to everyone, I am Julia, originally from Germany, but currently living in Malaysia. I did some leatherwork before, but that was several years ago and I sure hope that I will finally find the time to get back to this great hobby. I recently managed to get all my tools and stuff from Germany - now I only need to find out if there is any supplier for leather around here. If there is anybody who knows about resources in Malaysia (Penang), I would be happy about some tips. Hoping to find a lot of new and interesting people/ideas/contacts ... here. Julia Quote

Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted February 22, 2011 Members Report Posted February 22, 2011 Welcome to LW from Southern Nevada USA Malaysia is quite a difference from Germany, how did you end up there? Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
reddevil76 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Hi Julia, I am in Singapore, born in Malaysia. I grew up here, and even served in the military. So I ain't so familiar with Malaysia anymore. However, here in Singapore, most leather crafters still have to order our leather online. The only source here has hides only from India and the qualities aren't desirable. I doubt you will find any dedicated leather craft supplier over there. But there definitely will be leather suppliers for saddle repairs, shoe makers, etc. You can have a chat with the guys doing saddle repair for the local equestrian club to see where their leather come from if you want a local source.
