We've been importing Italian leather for over three decades, building direct relationships with the tanneries that matter most. That means consistent quality, stable supply, and access to grades and colourways that simply aren't available through standard distribution channels.
With over 60,000m² in stock at any given time, we fulfil orders immediately. No back-ordering, no waiting. If you need it now, we have it now.
Every hide is sourced directly from Italian tanneries with decades of heritage. We don't blend our range with lower-grade imports or synthetic alternatives.
Accurate specs, fast turnaround, consistent quality across reorders, and pricing that works for your margins. Over 30 years, we've built our business around serving the trade properly.
Our direct relationships with Italian tanneries mean our supply chain is stable and consistent. You won't find our stock running dry because of a distributor's ordering cycle. We manage that relationship ourselves.
We primarily sell full hides, as this is how Italian leather is graded and priced at source. Full hides give you the most versatility and the best value per square metre. If you have specific requirements, contact us and we'll advise on the best approach for your project.
No. We supply everyone from individual craftspeople buying a single hide to large manufacturers ordering in bulk. Pricing scales with volume, so larger orders attract better rates, but you're always welcome to start small.
Yes. We can arrange international shipping to most destinations. Lead times and freight costs will vary depending on location. Contact us with your requirements and we'll provide a delivery quote alongside your leather quote.
Leather pricing depends on type, grade, colour, and quantity, so we don't publish a single price list. The most accurate way to get pricing is to submit an enquiry. We'll come back to you with clear, honest figures based on exactly what you need.
We stock Full-Grain Nappa, Corrected Grain, Pull-Up Leather, Two-Tone Corrected Grain, and Single Colour Corrected Grain — all sourced directly from Italian tanneries. We also carry exclusive colourways and grades, including supercar-specification leather not available anywhere else locally.
