Where to buy leather?
As a leather crafter you might wondering where you could find good quality leather near you or online. Here is a guide.
Your leather must be strong and durable
When you create leather goods, people are looking for robust and durable products.
Your leather hides must be the reflection of the image they have and must be respectful of nature, even if those hides come from animals.
That's why I personally always focus on getting leathers that are veg-tanned, and that have a respectful background for both animals and humans, like with the Pelle Al Vegetale Consortium.
Leather Shops I buy from
I've been a satisfied client since 2021 of these two main online and physical shops that you can find in France and Italy, well know for the quality of their leathers.
Don't miss the coupon code :D
BuyLeatherOnline.com
BuyLeatherOnline is a shop that a friend of mine advise me to try, because they are offering free leather splitting service, which is really handy when you know what you want.
They also have one of the best collections of veg-tanned leathers from well-known tanneries.

Decocuir.com
Decocuir.com is a shop I discovered thanks to a french crafter when I started. I ordered several small squares of leather to practice and better know what thickness and type of leather I wanted to work with.
Now, I mostly order glue, Tokonole, leather straps for belts, and small hardware like buckles, because the quality of these items is good.
Leatherbox.com
You'll find there multiple things like tools, shortlisted leather among beautiful ones, but also hardware and an Academy section to help you learn new skills in the leathercraft industry.
I know work closely with Justin and his team at Leatherbox.com and they are friendly passionate people who focus on client satisfaction. Go check their website! (LORD10 Coupon ;p)
