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

Welcome to LW from Southern Nevada USA

Malaysia is quite a difference from Germany, how did you end up there?

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.

Selected leather & small items like rivet, eyelets, snap hooks etc might have small MOQ, like 4sqft for leather, 6pcs hooks, 50pcs eyelets in a pack. With such small requirements should not be a matter, right?

Welcome & pls drop by anytime from Monday - Friday, 9am - 6pm.

Hope to see you soon :) Give me a call if you can't find the place.

Been there. They have many hides but low quality and very old stock (some have mold). No veg tanned and no full grain hides..

If anyone else know where to source leather in Malaysia do let us know :)
