At
Hampshire Leather Care, we’re proud to be members of Leather UK, the official trade association representing the British leather industry. Our membership reflects not only our dedication to professional leather restoration and care, but also our commitment to upholding the values of quality, sustainability, and craftsmanship that define British leatherwork.
Who Are Leather UK?
Leather UK is the national trade association for the UK leather industry, representing tanneries, manufacturers, craftspeople, and service providers involved in leather production, restoration, and use. They work to promote the use of real leather, raise awareness of its environmental and ethical benefits, and protect the reputation of genuine leather within the UK and abroad.
You can learn more about their mission on the official website: www.leatheruk.org
Leather UK supports its members by:
- Providing technical and environmental guidance to maintain industry standards.
- Promoting transparency and authenticity in leather labelling and sustainability.
- Representing the industry in discussions with government and international organisations.
- Encouraging collaboration across all sectors — from tanners to restorers like us.
How Hampshire Leather Care Works with
Leather UK
As part of Leather UK’s network, we share the organisation’s passion for preserving and extending the life of genuine leather. Our role focuses on the aftercare and restoration side — helping clients maintain the beauty and longevity of leather furniture, upholstery, and interiors through professional cleaning, colour restoration, and protective treatments.
We align with Leather UK’s standards by:
- Using authentic, industry-approved leather products for cleaning and restoration.
- Promoting the use of genuine leather over synthetic alternatives.
- Educating our clients about leather types, care methods, and sustainability.
- Supporting the idea that repair and restoration reduce waste and promote responsible ownership.
Shared Values: Sustainability & Longevity
Leather UK champions the fact that real leather is a by-product of the food industry — a natural material that can last for decades when properly cared for. At Hampshire Leather Care, our restoration work complements this philosophy perfectly. By restoring existing leather furniture instead of replacing it, we help clients extend product life and reduce waste, supporting the sustainable use of leather.
Every restoration we perform — from a faded Chesterfield to a sun-bleached dining chair — reinforces the same belief: leather is built to last.
Why This Partnership Matters
Being part of Leather UK connects us to a wider network of British expertise, resources, and innovation. It allows us to stay up to date with new techniques, materials, and ethical standards in the industry, ensuring our customers receive the best, safest, and most responsible leather care available.
It also gives our clients reassurance that Hampshire Leather Care is a business that:
- Works to recognised national standards.
- Operates with transparency and integrity.
- Is part of the ongoing mission to protect and promote the UK’s leather heritage.
