S.W. James Exclusive Leather
the most beautiful leathers
Characterful
Our Vintage Leathers
When tightly pulled over the contours of the Chesterfield natural shades and highlights are created in the leathers surface, creating a warm, ‘lived-in’, vintage Chesterfield look. With its subtly distressed surface and soft waxy feel, the vintage leather achieves additional character over time, allowing the natural beauty of the hides to mature with age.
Irresistibly Soft
Our Heritage Leathers
Our Heritage range represents the softest and most luxurious leather we can offer.
This waxed and polished finish brings out an elegant and refined touch to any chesterfield, sofa or chair it covers, bringing out the natural beauty of the thoughtfully selected hides.
Hand Rubbed
Our Antique Leathers
After the Chesterfield has been upholstered by the team, a top coat of darker colour can be carefully polished in selected areas to expose the lighter colour beneath. This subtle contrast in colouring, where normal wear and tear would appear, achieves a beautifully aged, antique quality
Buffed by hand
Our Rustic Leathers
Warm, earthy and unquestionably stylish, our rustic leather is super soft and full of character. Using hand selected hides with lots of character, it’s dyed through to develop a deep, rich colour base that is then finished with a light wax and buffed by hand to enhance the patina and depth of colour. The hand buffing emphasise the natural texture and character of the leather to produce a surface that’s super-soft to the touch and extremely durable.
