Ian Corthan BearderI found GH Leathers online as they are one of the few leather suppliers who have a usable web shop - so important during the quarantine. I ordered two sides of veg tan leather and both are beautiful. The colour is rich and consistent, the back of the leather is smooth and well finished and there are very few (almost none) scratches or marks.
The company dispatched the order immediately (to Slovenia) and they arrived 4-5 days later.
Ordering was easy and I love the automated updates to Facebook messenger. A really nice touch.
Highly recommended.
Victoria BoastREALLY amazing place. Dee was my initial point of contact on Facebook and was ever so helpful and answered all my questions so quickly before my visit to the Northampton warehouse. The website suggests 2 hours on a visit but I think I was easily there for 3 hours but the staff were extremely kind helping me look at all the leather I wanted to, even the big rolls on the top shelf!
Jon in particular was amazing offering some great advice on choosing the right leather and was extremely patient when my pile of purchases got higher and higher.
The nappa selection is just incredible - every colour and cuts like butter.I found myself buying leather I had no clue what to do with but it was so beautiful I had to have it.
As a newbie to leather I wanted to take the opportunity to choose some real bargains and the sale shelves did not disappoint.
GH leathers is a wonderful company, with lovely, kind and helpful staff and a really great selection - all their leather are by products too :) just AMAZING....realise I am over gushing but cannot recommend this place enough and cannot wait to come back!
