Jamvandijk Report post Posted October 7, 2017 Hello everyone, I'm a small leatherworker from the Netherlands, and I'm making small leathergoods, such as belts, satchels, wallets, etc. I've been looking for good leather suppliers for a while now, but I find it difficult (and not a very fun job) to look for leather online and order a limited amount of samples. This is why I decided I'm going to visit the UK in January. Does any of you have suggestions where to go? I'd like to be able to see, feel and smell different leathers with different qualities and buy a small amount of hides. Places I will definitely visit are J&FJ Baker and A&A Crack& Sons. All suggestions welcome! Best wishes, Jeroen van Dijk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a tannery in Germany I can recommend, but the information is at home.. I will post it shortly Cheers Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted October 20, 2017 Le Provo, in the north of England is worth a visit. Really nice leather, and very friendly and informative staff. I have all my leather sent from England up to Scotland, and have never had reason to complain about the quality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
