Service For Farms: Further Information
Thank you for your interest in our September 2026 production.
Please review the information below and follow the steps outlined before completing the customer form.
How it works
We’ll share directions for collecting, salting, storing, stamping and delivering your hides to us. We send you a stamp for marking the hide(s).
Along with a number of other farm hides, they will go into processing at the traditional vegetable tannery in Bristol, with whom we work on all our production.
Once tanned, they will be relocated to a finishing facility in Northamptonshire, where dying and finishing takes place.
We will deliver finished leather back to you!
The format of your finished leather
All hides will be processed as “sides” (half hides), they will be cut into two pieces down the spine, as shown in the diagram above. You will receive two types of leather per hide:
Full grain leather (x2 pieces, 2mm thick): This means the leather we produce will have the top surface completely intact. We use a very natural process for producing leather, so characteristics like scratches and growth marks will be evident on the leather’s surface.
Suede (x2 pieces, 2mm thick): We are producing a 100% vegetable tanned suede, this means your leather will be firmer than other suedes you may have experienced.
How your leather can be used
We can suggest resources for turning your leather into useful items, including artisans who can create leather products in small volumes.
Below are items which have been made using the same quality of leather produced in this production. It is by no means an exhaustive list of design options!
