Hand Crafting Leather, Excellence by European Leather Works
European Leather Works (ELW) is a family-owned business proudly based in Southern California. We specialize in offering premium leather for leather working, carefully sourced from reputable tanneries across Europe, North America, and South America. Our buffalo leather hides are tanned using eco-friendly methods, ensuring every leather piece for crafting aligns with sustainable practices.
Full-Grain Buffalo Leather – Built to Last
Our full-grain buffalo leather straps and leather blanks are crafted from the full grain of the hide, preserving the natural strength and durability of the material. This medium-temper bulk leather is pliable yet firm, offering the ideal balance for leatherworking projects. The smooth, aniline finish enhances the leather's texture, adding a vintage feel that deepens over time, developing a rich patina.
