'Leather thinning' or 'splitting' is the specialist preparation of your leather to a thinner thickness needed for your required work.This is carried out using the latest electronically controlled machine we have imported from Italy the home of high class leather work! This processes the leather by slicing the back or splitting the leather in half to leave the top layer the desired finished thickness you require. This is done leaving a smooth and even finish on the back of the leather.

This process also helps level the surface of the leather as many leathers vary in thickness across the hide. Part splitting is also possible for items where an edge needs to be thinner than the rest for turning around something. Whether you need large batch thinning for your production or just a single small piece for button making all orders are just as important to us.

We've been operating this service for over 10 years and have a huge amount of experience in getting the perfect end result!
