Austen Leather

The Austen Leather is a premium quality hide sourced and finished to meet the demands of both professional upholsterers and home furnishing enthusiasts. With its rich umber tone, this leather brings warmth and sophistication to any piece, from traditional Chesterfield sofas to contemporary dining chairs. Each hide is sold individually, giving you the flexibility to select exactly what you need for your project.

Austen Leather is prized for its supple handle and consistent finish, making it a pleasure to work with whether you’re hand-cutting panels or working on detailed tight-upholstery. The natural umber colouring adds depth and character, developing a beautiful patina over time that only enhances its appearance with age. It’s a versatile choice that works equally well for restoration projects and brand-new bespoke furniture.

As with all hides, there will be some natural variation in size and surface character — this is part of what makes genuine leather so unique and desirable. We recommend ordering a sample if you’d like to assess the colour and texture before committing to a full hide. Glover Bros stocks Austen Leather as a go-to option for trade professionals who need reliability and quality, as well as home crafters looking to create something truly special.
