What I Do

I don't actually make leather furniture - just the leather covers that are stuffed with foam and then, put on a wooden frame. A simple reason for this is that the labor content of sewing is extremely high, as is the cost of shipping a fully-upholstered sofa.

So, as it is, what I see going out the factory door usually resembles a large leather purse, luggage or duffel bag.

On a recent trip to the UK, I finally got to see in person what becomes of our leather baggage.


Not bad.
