British Leather Manufacturers
Welcome to UK Leather Garments.
Established in 2012 with the family being in the leather trade since the early 1980s, we stand as one of the finest traditional British leather manufacturers around today.
We are particularly specialised in the manufacture of handmade leather jackets, which has served as the driving force of our business and allowed us to cement a foothold in international markets.
At our factory, we specialize in providing tailored leather manufacturing solutions for designers seeking high-quality leather jacket production. With a focus on craftsmanship, innovation, and customization, we collaborate closely with designers to bring their creative visions to life.
Our skilled artisans, and commitment to excellence ensure that we deliver premium leather jackets that meet the highest standards of quality and design. Partnering with us means gaining access to a trusted manufacturing partner dedicated to bringing your leather jacket designs to fruition with precision and style.
We are proud members of UKFT.

Our leather manufacturing services
Our small-scale services are tailored to the designer or brand we happen to be working with. Some clients approach us needing a manufacturing base for a new product launch, but we are equally comfortable getting involved in the design process and providing guidance wherever we can.
This can range from adding our input during the initial mock-ups and sampling to sourcing the leather on your behalf.
We prioritise traditional leatherworking techniques, quick turnaround times and the highest possible quality end product.
Our Best-of-British Services and Leather Specialities
Between the wealth of our team's knowledge and our contacts with patternmakers, tanneries and design specialists around the world, we are able to offer a full-scope leatherworking service tailored to you and your needs.
You may require input on the design and assistance with sourcing, or you may simply require a team of British leather manufacturers to turn mock-ups and samples into shelf-ready products. Whichever category you fall into, UK Leather are ready to offer you a superior service.

Why should you choose UK Leather?
Heritage
As a family-run business, we have been British leather manufacturers for over 40 years. The industry has gone through ups and downs, but we remain devoted to the tenets of traditional leatherworking techniques, handmade goods and superior British leather products that were once a cornerstone of the nation's economy.
Flexibility
Whether you simply need a qualified manufacturing workshop as the final stage in the production process or want some practical input for your initial designs, our British leather manufacturers can tailor their services to suit you.
Knowledgeable
Our small but experienced team of leather artisans have well over a 100 years of hands-on leatherworking experience between them. There is no element of traditional leather manufacturing that is beyond their knowledge.
Passion
The market might prefer fast fashion nowadays, but we remain devoted to handmade leather garments and the people who choose them. A high-quality final product that sells will benefit the brand, manufacturer and designer alike, and to that end we see your customers as our customers. That's why we go the extra mile for their benefit whenever and however we can.

Who we design leather for
As part of our commitment to provide a boutique and bespoke service, we prefer to work with independent designers and small- to medium-sized brands. Our London workshop and handmade approach gives us a capacity of a minimum 25 units per style and a maximum output of 100 pieces per month.
Helping Designers find their Feet
Being a relatively small industry, the British leatherworking sector can be difficult to break into for newer designers.
To this end, we're determined to give aspiring leather designers the experience and contacts they deserve by offering them guidance, ad hoc tutelage from our staff and advice with particular techniques.
If you're an up-and-coming designer with a willingness to learn and find their feet in the industry, get in touch with our team of British leather manufacturers at enquiries@ukleather.co.uk.
