Members TustingandBurnett1938Ltd Posted March 22, 2018 Members Report Posted March 22, 2018 Hi Everyone, I hope you don't mind me posting here! I work in our 4th generation family leather business. The company started in 1938. We are having a stand at the upcoming Peterborough Festival of Antiques fair, where we will be having our leathers on show which can be used for all Leather Crafts, Book Binding, Furniture, Jewellery, Small Leather Goods etc. We will have full skins on show, along with cut up skins and swatches ranging from A5 to A3 size. Our Stand is allocated in the Natwest Buliding - Stall Number J042&043cc festivalofantiques.co.uk/visitors/ If you aren't avaible to attend, we have very competitive courier rates which enables us to courier our skins world wide. I've listed our website and instagram account below, so you can get an idea of the type of leathers that we create. I look forward to seeing some of the UK people there. tustingandburnett.com/ instagram.com/tustingandburnett/ Quote
bermudahwin Posted March 22, 2018 Report Posted March 22, 2018 I am away on busines atm, but may well be in touch on my return, I see you do goat, do you do pig? Are any of your leathers waxed or stuffed? I bet you get fed up with this but is there any link to Tustings? I am looking for some of their old sundance leather to upgrade my briefcase. Thanks Harry Quote No longer following it.
Members TustingandBurnett1938Ltd Posted March 23, 2018 Author Members Report Posted March 23, 2018 Good Morning, We unfortunately don't do Pig. We mainly do Goat, with some Buffalo,Cow and Sheep articles. Is there any reason why you want pig? Our niche is in creating hand antiqued, aged , distressed and waxy leathers, along with the typical book binder / handbag finish. I am related to them, but the companies aren't financially linked. Have you checked out our instagram and website? As the sundance leather looks like a Wax pul up, that we have many variants of. Quote
Members MY63 Posted March 23, 2018 Members Report Posted March 23, 2018 Your Instagram is great. If you don't mind me saying your website could do with some updates especially in the sale section.
