Buy nubuck leather from Driessen Leder
Looking to buy nubuck leather for furniture, bags, footwear or another product? Choosing the right material involves more than finding the right colour. The leather needs to work well during production, suit the desired appearance and perform properly in the finished product.
At Driessen Leder in Waalwijk, we help you find a nubuck quality that matches your application. Our range includes different colours, thicknesses and hide sizes. With a large stock held in our own warehouse, many materials can be supplied quickly.
Whether you need nubuck for a one-off project, prototype, limited production run or larger collection, tell us what you are making and what the leather needs to do. We can then help you compare the available options.
Which type of nubuck leather do you need?
Once you have decided to use nubuck, the next step is selecting the right quality. The material should not only look good, but also fit your design and production process.
For upholstery, you may need leather that can be worked neatly around curves and is suitable for the type of furniture being covered. Bag makers may focus more on flexibility, structure and efficient cutting. For footwear, the leather needs to match the construction, model and intended appearance of the shoe.
When helping you choose, we consider factors such as:
-
the intended application;
-
required thickness and flexibility;
-
colour and surface finish;
-
dimensions of the hides;
-
number of hides required;
-
preferred delivery date;
-
possible repeat orders.
You do not need to know every technical specification in advance. Information about your design, end use and required quantity is usually enough for us to start identifying suitable options.

Nubuck leather for furniture and interiors
Planning to upholster a chair, sofa, headboard or other interior element? The leather you choose has a major influence on the finished appearance.
Nubuck works particularly well in designs where a soft, matt and natural look is desired. The surface has a distinctive feel that gives furniture and interiors extra depth and character.
For larger upholstery projects, it is important to order enough leather from the same batch. As leather is a natural material, slight differences in colour and texture can occur between production batches.
Let us know what you are upholstering and provide the relevant dimensions. We can help you assess the required quantity and suitable leather quality.
You can also explore our range of upholstery leather for additional options.
Nubuck for shoes, bags and accessories
Do you work as a shoemaker, bag maker, designer or manufacturer? Then both the characteristics of the leather and the usable surface of each hide matter.
A structured bag may require a firmer quality, while certain types of footwear may benefit from a softer and more flexible nubuck.
The size of your pattern pieces should also be taken into account. If you need to cut large panels from one piece, sufficient usable surface area is essential. Smaller accessories often allow a hide to be used more efficiently.
Tell us:
-
what you are producing;
-
the approximate size of the main pattern pieces;
-
how many products you intend to make;
-
which colour or finish you need.
Based on this information, we can help estimate which nubuck quality and quantity are most suitable.
If you are specifically looking for leather for footwear, our shoe leather range may also be relevant.
Nubuck leather in smaller quantities
You do not need to be running a large production line to buy nubuck from Driessen Leder. We supply both businesses and private customers, and smaller quantities are available for selected materials.
This can be useful when you are:
-
reupholstering a piece of furniture;
-
producing a one-off bespoke item;
-
testing a new design;
-
developing a prototype or sample;
-
carrying out a repair;
-
producing a limited first series.
There is no need to purchase a large batch when your project only requires a few hides. Contact us about current stock and the amount of material you expect to need.
Private customers can also find additional information about purchasing leather and visiting our location on the private sales page.
Order nubuck leather from stock
When production has already been scheduled, unnecessary delays in material supply are hardly welcome. Driessen Leder keeps a large leather stock at its own warehouse in Waalwijk.
Many available qualities can therefore be supplied quickly. Depending on current stock and the order, next-day delivery may be possible.
To help us check availability efficiently, include the following information with your enquiry:
-
intended use of the nubuck;
-
preferred colour or colour range;
-
approximate thickness;
-
quantity required;
-
required delivery date.
If you expect to reorder the same leather later, mention this as well. For repeat production, continuity can be just as important as the first delivery.
Custom nubuck for your own collection
Do you require a particular colour, finish or leather quality that is not available in our standard stock?
For brands, manufacturers and larger projects, Driessen Leder can discuss made-to-order leather options. This can be particularly useful when the material will become part of an ongoing product range or needs to meet specific design requirements.
We discuss the intended application, required characteristics and expected quantities before looking at the technical and practical possibilities.
This gives you the option to investigate whether the leather can be adapted to the product, rather than having to design the product around a standard stock quality.
Why buy nubuck leather from Driessen Leder?
When sourcing leather, price is only one part of the decision. You also need confidence that the material suits your product, that sufficient stock is available and that you can speak to someone who understands the application.
Driessen Leder offers:
-
a broad selection of nubuck and other leather types;
-
various colours, thicknesses and hide sizes;
-
extensive stock at our warehouse in Waalwijk;
-
fast and reliable delivery options;
-
small and larger order quantities;
-
supply to professional and private customers;
-
personal contact and practical product advice;
-
made-to-order possibilities for selected projects.
Our approach is straightforward. We look at what you intend to make and help identify leather that actually suits the application.
