Buy leather as a private customer at Driessen Leder

Looking for leather for a creative project, furniture restoration or simply because you enjoy working with the material? Private customers are also welcome at Driessen Leder.

While we supply many professional customers and businesses, our leather shop in Waalwijk is also open to individuals who need leather for their own projects.

Whether you are looking for a smaller piece for a bag, skirt or accessory, or complete hides for reupholstering a chair or sofa, you can choose from a broad range of leather qualities, colours and finishes.

Leather for creative and hobby projects

Leather is a versatile material that can be used for many different types of projects. It is not only used by designers, upholsterers and professional leatherworkers. Hobbyists and makers can also create a wide variety of products from leather.

For example, you can use leather to:

make your own belt, wallet or keyring;
create a bag or fashion accessory;
make or repair a garment;
reupholster a chair or other piece of furniture;
practise stitching and other leatherworking techniques;
repair or personalise existing accessories.

The combination of strength and flexibility makes leather suitable for both functional and decorative applications.

Buy smaller pieces or complete hides

As a private customer, you do not always need a full production quantity. At Driessen Leder, you can choose from smaller pieces as well as complete hides, depending on the leather quality and current availability.

Our range includes leather in different:

colours;
thicknesses;
textures;
finishes;
levels of flexibility.

A soft leather may be suitable for bags, clothing or accessories, while a firmer quality may work better for upholstery or projects that need to retain their shape.

Being able to choose the amount that fits your project also helps prevent unnecessary leftover material.

Professional leather available to private customers

Driessen Leder has many years of experience supplying leather to professional customers. Private buyers benefit from access to the same range of quality materials and product knowledge.

Our team can help you determine which leather suits your project. We look at the intended use, the way you plan to process the material and your available budget.

This can be particularly useful if you are new to leatherworking. With so many different types of leather available, the differences in thickness, flexibility and finish are not always obvious at first glance.

Why buy leather from Driessen Leder?

When buying leather for a personal project, you benefit from:

a wide range of colours, leather types and textures;
smaller pieces as well as complete hides;
personal advice at our leather shop;
professional-quality leather;
supply to both businesses and private customers;
the opportunity to see and feel the material before buying.

Instead of choosing leather from a photograph alone, you can compare different qualities and determine which one is most suitable for your project.

From small hobby projects to furniture restoration

Your project does not need to be large or professional.

You may be learning how to work with leather, repairing a favourite item or starting a small handmade project. At the same time, private customers can also visit us for larger projects such as reupholstering furniture or creating custom interior pieces.

This flexibility means you can purchase leather at a scale that suits your needs without having to order commercial quantities.

Whether you need a small piece for an accessory or a complete hide for upholstery, you can rely on the same product knowledge and service that we provide to professional customers.

If you are unsure about the best material, bring information about your project, such as measurements, photographs or a pattern. This helps us give more targeted advice.
