Wet blue hides
Our hides are sourced from UK and Irish licensed abattoirs and processed under strict environmental guidelines. The high quality of UK and Irish hides are perfectly suited for the manufacture of full-hide aniline and semi-aniline leathers of all types.
We process primarily from fresh hides (iced or chilled) which ensures the grains are clean with no degradation that may be experienced with salted hides. We provide full substance hides supplied sammed and packed to the customers' requirements.
We can offer our standard chrome tannage or process to specific customer requirements. If this is of interest please talk to us.
