OEM & Private Label Leather Manufacturing
Two ways to have leather products made under your brand: produce your own design (OEM), or adapt a product type we make and finish it with your branding (private label).
Last updated 11 October 2026
OEM or private label: which fits you?
| OEM | Private label | |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Yours — tech pack, pattern or approved sample | Starts from a product type we make, adapted to you |
| Development time | Longer: pattern and sample are new | Shorter: fewer things to develop |
| Best for | Brands with a defined product and repeat ranges | Wholesalers and brands extending a range quickly |
| Your branding | Labels, marks, hardware and packaging as you specify | |
What you provide, what we do

We handle
Development and production services
What happens between your brief and a shipped order.
The options available for your product are confirmed during quotation. Tell us what you have in mind in your request and we will advise what can be done.
How a project runs
From brief to bulk shipment
Every order follows the same sequence, so you approve the product before production starts and know what is being checked before dispatch.
-
Brief and references
You send a tech pack, sketches, photos or a reference sample, with target quantities and destination.
-
Quotation
We review materials, construction and branding, ask what is unclear, and send a written quotation.
-
Pattern and sample
A pattern is made and a sample produced in the agreed leather, lining, hardware and branding.
-
Sample approval
You review fit, finish and details. Changes are made and re-sampled until you approve in writing.
-
Material sourcing
Leather and components for the bulk order are sourced to match the approved sample.
-
Bulk production
Cutting, stitching and finishing against the approved sample, with checks along the way.
-
Inspection and packing
Finished goods are checked against the approved sample, then labelled and packed to your instructions.
-
Dispatch
Documents are prepared and the order is handed to the agreed carrier or your forwarder.
Owning your product
Designs, logos and documents you send remain yours. We use them only to quote for and make your order. Patterns developed for your product are kept for your repeat orders.
Repeat orders
The approved sample is the reference for every repeat. Tell us when you need to reorder and any changes; colour matching to a previous lot is checked against the retained sample where possible, because natural leather varies between hide lots.
