Where Can I Buy Leather to Line a Box

[Neocleous]

Hello all,

As the title says, does anyone have any recommendations on where I can buy some leather and Alancantara to line a watch box?

Thanks

I use pig suede from here …

If it's just for a watch box, I have some red and blue upholstery leather you can have. There will be other colours too. I will look tomorrow if you are interested.

Try a charity shop for a leather jacket?

Thank you for the kind offer, the first thing I’m making is a watch box but I have a few other projects that I want it for so I’d like to find a supplier.

I've bought pig suede on Etsy and it was about the same price as the link from Blackswanwood.

Look for a local upholsterer, there are loads of small businesses around so maybe one near you. We have a couple around here who specialise in car seat repairs and they generate offcuts in both leather, though limited range of colours and fake leather used in several up market makes. MB-Tex, Artico, Sensatec etc.

I use GH Leathers too, per the link above.

Mail order is great but I've visited too for a shufty through the stock for something special or to compare/match colours and they were really helpful. The stock they have their is mind boggling!

I would search for Custard’s 2017 post called lining boxes & drawers…..sorry don’t know how to add link. It is a brilliant post and works perfectly. I bought pigskin from Ebay.

Leather handbags at your charity shop can be a good find.

These guys are good to deal with.

Agree re their product range - if you do order from them ask them to include their colour card and brochure ... I didn't know there were so many varieties of leather.
