Guide to Buying Leather    
Leather is the material of the moment, and at every level designers are interpreting their own versions of this season’s catwalk looks.

But what style and what type of leather will suit you best? For 30 years Lakeland has been recognised as the specialists in leather, suede and sheepskin and we are keen to use our expertise to help you select the perfect leather.

Whether you’re making your choice from Lakeland’s extensive range or want to check out what other retailers are offering first, the following points will help you choose.

Styling
Is the style right for you? Lakeland offers a choice unequalled by other retailers and our experienced staff are happy to guide you through the options and provide any advice you may need.

Texture and Feel
Generally softness and ’touch’ go hand in hand with quality – from day one you should be happy with the feel and texture of your leather. Yes, leather will soften with wear, and this should enhance the natural characteristics. However, if the leather is heavy and stiff to begin with it is unlikely to improve dramatically.

Price
Lakeland offers exceptional quality at competitive prices. Dealing directly with long established manufacturers ensures exclusively designed styles can be produced at realistic price points. In fact, we are so confident that you won’t find the identical style at a cheaper price that we offer a price differential guarantee.

Aftercare
All Lakeland staff receive regular and through training on new trends, styling and leather finishes and can confidently recommend appropriate care products designed to enhance and prolong the life of each individual garment. Not many retailers can offer this level of expertise.

Guarantee
All Lakeland leathers are produced to a high standard, and are thoroughly quality checked before offered for sale – being realistic there can be the occasional unforeseen problem, but you can feel confident that our staff are thoroughly trained to deal with any situation promptly and efficiently.
