another reason we LOVE leather.
Today’s reason,
“I love knowing my leather can be repaired so easily.”
WHETHER IT IS SCRATCHES, STAINS, TEARS, OR INK MARKS, ON LEATHER, THESE CAN BE FIXED.
Because of the tangled fiber structure and its natural look, leather is easy to repair. Holes can be filled, scratches can be covered, stains and ink can be removed. Leather is naturally resistant to most damage and durable enough to hold up in rough environments, but when it gets damaged, it is easily repairable.
Because leather can be so easily repaired and restored to its original beauty, leather lasts for years and years and is a very sound investment.

Today’s reason,
“I love that Townsend leather is manufactured n the USA.”
TOWNSEND LEATHER IS MANUFACTURED IN UPSTATE NEW YORK.
Townsend is the manufacturer, not just a distributor or warehouse; we do all of our own processing: coloring, finishing, embossing, special effects, flameproofing, & much more. Our facility is located in Upstate New York at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains where there is a long history and tradition of leather making & generations of families who have made leather and passed down the nuances with each generation. Townsend Leather is the only leather manufacturer in America that is AS9100 Certified. And we love giving tours of our facility and providing a glimpse into how each leather order is made.
We make it…
for you!

Today’s reason,
“I love how Customize-able Townsend Leather is.”
EXACT COLOR MATCH, PATTERN, TEXTURE, EFFECT, SHEEN, THICKNESS, STIFFNESS – THE CUSTOMIZATIONS THAT TOWNSEND LEATHER CAN PROVIDE ARE ENDLESS.
Because we are the manufacturer, with control over the entire production process, Townsend is able to customize every aspect of the leather to fit both your vision and exacting requirements.
Townsend takes pride in our ability to customize any leather idea or need. Townsend Leather’s Customization. We actually manufacture the leather right here in upstate New York, so we have an unparalleled ability to create, hand-craft, fine-tune, and explore. We have an active “ART & D” team, always creating. We can create one-of-a-kind pieces like this Threadneedles Hotel, or our Abstract Art series, all the way to the more traditional looking but highly specific needs of Studio Emotions Aircraft.

another reason we LOVE leather.
Today’s reason,
“I love how my leather stretches just the right amount.”
BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE NATURAL FIBER STRUCTURE, LEATHER CAN STRETCH IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
Man-made textiles, like vinyl, have a more “stacked” fiber structure and therefore can only stretch in one direction, leading to sagging. Townsend Leather can work with you to understand your design intent and the final application for leather and we can produce the leather to meet your exact specifications. We work closely with designers and customers to make sure the leather we make for you is the perfect fit for its intended final form and use.
See the interwoven fiber structure of leather in our Reason #4, Durability. Leather is even impressive and love-able on a microscopic level!
