    Leather or suede suppliers

    Can anyone suggest anywhere I can purchase either leather or suede from? I assume I'll need to buy skins....

    Suggestions as to where I can get faux alternatives from would be also much appreciated.

        Thank you both so much. Great info as usual! She wants 4 cushions made, 15 inch square, with feather pads, zipped and piped in real leather or suede and doesn't want to pay more than £20 per cushion. She bought the originals in Debenhams about 6 years ago, and wants to add to them rather than replace them, so she's after a particular shade of burnt orange. That's the first hurdle! The second's the price as I can't see me getting real leather or suede at a price that makes that possible.

        I'll try suggesting faux to her, as I suspect that's what she actually has (although she's insisting it's real leather) but I don't know if she'll go for it.
