ABOUT US

About Us

 Walter Reginald is London’s leading leather supplier.

 Since 1948 our family-run business has been stocking and supplying leather to big brands, independent firms, retailers and direct to consumers.

 Our wide range of finished leathers, sheepskins and suedes are ideal for garments, footwear, leathergoods, handbags, upholstery and interiors.  Our leather is also used by theatrical costumiers, feature film makers and TV production companies.

 We are on hand to advise you on the best leather options for your project and offer a bespoke matching and development service.

 Sustainability

 All leather skins used in the manufacture of garments, shoes, accessories and upholstery are a by-product of the food industry. We do not sell leather from animals that are killed for their skins alone.

 As a by-product of the meat industry, the animal skins are a secondary commodity which, without appropriate treatment, would otherwise be wasted and sent to land-fill.  By using all the parts of the animal, we are avoiding unnecessary and additional waste.

 As opposed to other textiles and imitation leather which is not durable and is not biodegradable, leather is a natural, organic material, with care can last for hundreds of years but when discarded has a decomposition rate of 25-50 years.

 We work with tanneries across the world, many of which are members of the Leather Working Group, ensuring environmental and industry best practice in the development and production of leather.
