This week, we are delighted to see The Leather Surplus Project take off! We have successfully dispatched 21 boxes, filled with UK leather, to 7 universities.

With thanks to The Leathersellers, this project is dedicated to providing access to surplus leather, free of charge, through the generous donations of our UK tanneries. Not only does this project enable students to access a range of locally produced leather of different finishes and colours for their projects, it also encourages the use of a sustainable by-product, fosters an understanding of the material and allows development of key leatherworking skills, a real asset to future careers in fashion, accessories, footwear or other design disciplines.

A big thanks to the tanneries involved for their generous donations.
