Our story
Founded in 2011, Leather 1X was built from a deep appreciation for genuine leather and timeless craftsmanship. What started as a small operation focused on sourcing quality hides has grown into a trusted supplier of premium leather materials for designers, artisans, and manufacturers around the world.
