We stock three types of leather from a French company called Alran.

Tonga is exclusive to Shepherds. These leathers have a smooth and polished finish but are more durable than calf, making them great for fine and designer binding, presentation boxes, portfolio cases etc. etc.

Native Goat is also exclusive to Shepherds and featuring a natural grain and polished surface. These beautifully muted colours look amazing in any setting. They tool and gild well, meaning they are great for fine and designer binding. The beautifully muted colours are also a perfect choise for restoration projects.

Nubuck has a lovely soft feel and looks great on case bindings or as the linings of presentation boxes.
