The majority of our suede is sourced from a tannery in Scotland , the small quantities of the fashionable colours come from tanneries in Italy & Spain. Our sheepskin comes from the last sheepskin tannery in UK situated in Buckfastleigh Devon. The rest of the sheepskin linings will come from a specialist tannery in Belgium.
