Southern Leathers

Nestled in the heart of charming Canterbury, Southern Leathers has been a cherished treasure for over three decades, crafting exquisite leather and suede goods that stand the test of time. From our humble beginnings as a small workshop to our current status as a premier destination for all things leather, we've proudly continued the tradition of masterful craftsmanship passed down through generations. Our story began in the early 90s when a local shoemaker, inspired by the rich history and artisanal skill that defined the region, decided to share his passion for leather with the world. Fast forward to today, and we've become synonymous with quality, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to our craft. At Southern Leathers, we don't just sell leather products; we breathe life into them. Our dedicated team of skilled artisans takes great pride in transforming raw hides into beautiful, functional pieces that reflect both the unique character of their origins and the timeless elegance of traditional techniques. With an extensive range that includes colouring, dyeing, restoration, reconditioning, cleaning, repairs, and everything in between, we cater to every conceivable leather need. We've always believed in the magic that happens when art meets function, and our collection is a testament to this philosophy. From sumptuous sofas and timeless handbags to durable footwear and sleek accessories, each item tells its own story - one of enduring craftsmanship, timeless style, and an unwavering dedication to quality. Southern Leathers isn't just a store; it's a sanctuary for those who appreciate the beauty and versatility of leather.
