At Lyon Leathers, leather is more than just a material — it's a craft, a legacy, and a way of life. As a family-run business established in 1990 and with over 35 years’ experience in the trade, we've earned a trusted reputation for supplying high-quality leather hides, skins, and finished leather goods to a wide range of industries and individuals across the UK and beyond.

We are proud to support a diverse customer base. From upholsterers and shoemakers to re-enactors, belt retailers, and costume departments in the film industry, our leather has found its way into everything from handcrafted accessories to screen-used period pieces. Whether you’re a hobbyist, artisan, or large-scale producer, we’re here to supply you with the right materials and components for the job.

We stock an extensive selection of leather skins and hides — one of the largest ranges in the UK — including:

Vegetable tanned shoulders and sides

Pigskins, sheepskins, goatskins, and suedes

Hair-on skins such as rabbit, sheep, goat, and full cow hides

Printed leathers and end-of-line stock for sustainable sourcing

Alongside raw materials, we also manufacture a wide variety of leather goods and components. These include:

Belts, kilt straps, and dog collars

Bags, pouches, and key fobs

Custom-cut logo shapes

Leather parts for boots, handbags, baskets, and more

We also supply essential fittings and tools including buckles, threads, rivets, and belt hardware — making us a one-stop-shop for leatherworking businesses and individuals alike.

Our goal is to support your process, not just supply your materials. That’s why we offer a full suite of leatherworking services, including:

Leather cutting and splitting

Embossing and foil stamping

Riveting and press stud application

If you’re spending time doing all the prep work yourself, let us handle it — we offer fast, reliable, and competitively priced services so you can focus on what you do best.
