The history of Leathergraft, It all began in a small workshop on Smithdown road, Liverpool. This location proved beneficial being on one of Liverpools main roads into the city center offering great transport connections to suppliers and customers buying small leather goods from clogs to guitar straps. As the brand established itself more it was apparent that there was a need for a much bigger premises to allow us to grow with the demand!
Present day
After vacating our Wavertree premises we moved into a more suitable factory based in Huyton-With-Roby which allowed us space to grow both our stock and production. As with our previous premises this location provided a great connection with both the city of Liverpool & Manchester being situated between both the M57 & M62.
