Lakeland leather

Famous for Leather Since 1955

We are the renowned specialist in luxury leather and sheepskin garments and accessories. Our story started in 1955 when Jack Standring opened his first shop in Ambleside, the heart of the Lake District.

We are now the UK’s largest leather retailer, still family-owned, and still based in our Lakeland home. Jack's passion was leather goods; and when you love leather like we do, you soon realise no two garments are the same. Every hide we buy is unique and needs the eye of an expert to get the beauty to reveal itself. We keep our leather natural and soft-to-touch, just as Jack insisted all those years ago.
