The most versatile material there is

We love working with leather. When the work is done correctly, with the right hide, thread and construction, leather lasts decades and looks better as it ages.

From marine squabs that handle salt air to lounge furniture and bespoke applications, leather is a CoverMania speciality.

two different builds

Leather on a boat lives a different life to leather in a living room. UV, salt and moisture demand different hides, adhesives and fixings. We know both worlds and build accordingly.

“Sebastian did a great job of recovering my dental chair — it looks great and is much more comfortable than it was before! He worked through the weekend to have it done by Monday so we didn’t have any down time.”

Straight answers

Asked often

Q01Can worn leather furniture be recovered?

Usually, yes. If the frame and padding are sound, recovering in new leather gives you what is effectively a new piece at a fraction of the cost of quality new furniture.

Q02Is leather suitable for boats?

Yes, with the right leather and construction. Marine leather work needs UV-resistant hides, moisture-tolerant construction and the right fixings. We have been making leather boat squabs for decades.

Q03What leathers do you work with?

A range of upholstery-grade hides in different finishes and colours, plus suede for beanbags. We can source specific colours and finishes on request.
