About Us

We love natural sustainable leather. Our cause is to sell value products to anyone who makes, mends or adapts things from leather.

You will deal with a team of people that believe in you and what we can do together. Allow us to introduce ourselves:

Jackie Laight
Jackie does everything; she buys, she sells, she administers, she's our engine room and a real inspiration to us all.

Lynnie Smith
Experience and knowledge, Lynnie's our guiding spirit who covers film, TV and Theatre for us. For 14 years she ran her own very successful film supply business in London. Her business experience and creative energy are invaluable to us.

Peter's a PHD Leatherdog who's spent 43 years developing and making leather throughout the world. Now he's making leathers based on each of the last 10 centuries and working on developing organic leather for the future. Working for Pittards, the leather manufacturers, for 25 years, he was responsible for developing their water proof range and was their divisional Managing Director. At The Identity Store he's developed ways of digitally printing on any leather for any market. He's a Harvard graduate.
