Luxury Leather Upholstery For Bespoke Furniture

We offer a premium selection of luxury leather upholstery for bespoke sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, bar stools, banquette seating and headboards. Leather remains one of the most timeless and durable upholstery materials, valued for its natural character, long-lasting performance and refined appearance.

We work with private clients, interior designers and commercial hospitality projects across the UK, providing expert advice on leather selection, finishes and suitability for both residential and contract environments.

Types of Upholstery Leather

Selecting the right leather is essential to achieve the desired look, feel and durability. We offer a range of leather finishes, each with its own characteristics and benefits.

Full Grain Leather

Full grain leather is the highest quality leather available, retaining the natural surface and markings of the hide. It develops a rich patina over time and is prized for its authenticity and luxury appeal.

Best for:
Luxury sofas, statement chairs, high-end residential interiors

Top Grain Leather

Top grain leather is slightly refined to create a smoother surface while still maintaining premium quality. It offers excellent durability with a more consistent finish.

Best for:
Residential sofas, dining chairs, luxury seating projects

Aniline Leather

Aniline leather is dyed without heavy surface coatings, allowing the natural softness and texture of the hide to remain. It provides a beautifully natural finish, though it requires more care than protected leathers.

Best for:
Luxury residential furniture, low-traffic environments

Semi-Aniline Leather

Semi-aniline leather offers the best balance of natural softness and added protection. A light finish improves stain resistance while maintaining a premium look and feel.

Best for:
Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, everyday luxury interiors

Protected / Pigmented Leather

Protected leather is finished with a durable coating, making it highly resistant to stains, scratches and wear. It is one of the most practical options for hospitality and commercial furniture applications.

Best for:
Restaurants, hotels, bars, commercial seating, high-traffic areas

We can advise on suitable leather types for commercial seating projects, including protective finishes and contract-grade specifications.

Leather Care & Maintenance

Leather is naturally durable, but correct care ensures it retains its appearance and softness for years to come.

We recommend:

  • Regular light cleaning with a soft cloth
  • Avoiding direct heat and prolonged sunlight
  • Conditioning leather periodically (depending on type)
  • Using protected leather in high-use hospitality environments

Our team can advise on leather care depending on the finish selected.

Leather & COM Upholstery

Interior designers and architects often specify leather supplied directly from their chosen supplier. We can upholster furniture using customer's own material (COM), working with your preferred leather supplier to ensure seamless project delivery.
