Welcome to Harmatan Leather, manufacturers of fine Goatskin and Calfskin Bookbinding Leathers
Harmatan's leathers are created using traditional methods at our small, highly specialised tannery at Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, UK - an area that has been historically known for producing leather and leather goods. From here our quality leathers are distributed worldwide to a diverse range of clients who enjoy working with these fine skins.
Harmatan was established in the early 1980's to supply the finest quality vegetable tanned goat skins and offer smooth grained calf skins for bookbinders. Rapidly our reputation for exceptional quality spread amongst specialist binders in the United Kingdom and around the world.
All Harmatan goatskins originate from the Kano and Sokato regions of Nigeria. These goatskins are used exclusively because of their exceptionally beautiful natural grains and for the time honoured quality of their tannage.
Please note that Harmatan Ltd. do not sell any of their products via eBay. Please beware of any cheaper but poorly / incorrectly tanned leathers you may see advertised on the internet.
