As Townsend Leather happily glides into this Holiday Season, we always like to take a moment and look back on the year that was.

2012 was an exciting year for Townsend Leather; it was very fast-moving and produced a lot of special memories.  Our Townsend Leather family grew this year and as we take some time over the next couple of weeks to spend with our home families, we wanted to offer a little glimpse of what 2012 looked like for Townsend Leather.

Our year-in-review gallery of images, you will see a bit of the new products, new machines, new construction, new groups, new partners, new learning, and new experiences that we enjoyed throughout the year.

For a bit more information about our year, take a look at our most recent Bi-Monthly Bulletin and review the Holiday Luncheon we recently had.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Townsend Leather, and we look forward to everything that will come for each of us in 2013!

See you next year!

Townsend Leather is excited about the holidays and held our annual company Holiday Pot Luck Luncheon a bit early this year.

With lots of awards, great conversation, delicious food, laughs, and memories, it was a wonderful time for the company to all come together.  We relaxed and spent time thinking about the past year’s accomplishments.

Having 140 people all in one room, celebrating their shared successes and stories makes for a very fun and powerful time.

Townsend Leather wishes the best for you this holiday season.

 

The fine folks at Constant Aviation have provided Townsend Leather with our most recent Designer Showcase submission.

They created some exciting looking mock-up aircraft seats for their NBAA display, using three of Townsend’s leathers.  See the Showcase

Pantone just announced their influential, yearly exploration of what will be a prominent color of the year 2013.

We are already seeing this color influence designs around the world with some of the leather that we currently have in production.  You can see a couple photos below that were just snapped this morning.

You can order some Emerald inspired samples for your next project from Townsend Leather.  Started by taking a look at our Pantone Color of the year influenced Lightbox selection.

The Pantone Color of the Year was selected from their previously chosen Top Colors for Spring 2013.

 

 

You don’t always get a behind-the-scenes look at how the stuff your buy, desire, and use gets made.  But with so much exciting stuff happening every day here at Townsend Leather, we would feel remiss if we didn’t share some glimpses of that with you.

Here at our blog you can take a peak at the magic inside of Townsend Leather, in our reoccurring feature “Out on the floor…”

This time we take a quick stop by the Dry Drum department.

Townsend Leather partner, Dave, pulls some luxurious Taj Pearl leather from the drums.  

The Dry Drum department serves multiple functions, but one bit of magic that happens here is, one more step toward creating the leathers incredible suppleness.  All that tumbling and rolling helps makes the leather soft and creamy.  You can see the leather just spilling out of the drums as he gently pulls it to spread it out over the “horse” that will hold the leather.  

Let us know if there’s a particular area of leather production that you’ve always wanted to explore more.
