Vegetable VS Chrome Tanned Leather: Which One is Right for You?
Two of the most common types of leather tanning are vegetable tanning and chrome tanning—and each has its own unique benefits. So, which one is right for you? Let’s break it down.
Who we are
Leather4Craft is a family run business. We specialise in supplying the Craft market (worldwide) with high end leather, but in cut pieces, instead of whole hides. Our leather range is vast with over 20,000 sqft including Cowhide, Goatskin, Nappa, Sheepskin, Horween (branded), Suede, Nubuck, Pig Skin, Exotics and Horse. Our leather range includes every thickness, colour and pattern you can imagine! We also supply the Wholesale Market and can sell whole hides at competitive prices worldwide.
Stephen Garrioch started Leather4craft in 2009. Steve has over 40 years experience of working with leather in the furniture trade and can help you with any enquiry you may have.
Steve has worked with many clients to develop their brand using the best techniques for finishing and cutting leather. Leather4craft also offers design services for bespoke leather items and projects.
Stephen hand produces all our leather desk inserts, used to replace worn desktops. Using his forty years in hand-leather tooling and French Polishing, you can be sure of a high-end finished item.
The team at Leather4craft is very proud of their top-quality leathers which they source from a wide range of world-class tanneries. We are the sole UK suppliers of hides cut into panels from some of these specialist tanneries. This enables us to maintain supply, and if we do not have the leather you are looking for we can always source it for you.
