For over 100 years, Siegel Leather has quietly served a discerning global clientele with premium, specialty leathers.
A Legacy of Excellence
Our leathers have found their way into the hands, and onto the shelves, of the world’s most discerning leaders, institutions, and craftspeople.
From premium bookbinding leathers to skins engineered to emulate human tissue for surgical equipment testing and even saddlery leathers that once adorned the personal saddles of Nancy Reagan and George H. W. Bush, our collection offers an unparalleled blend of purpose, versatility, and refinement.
Rooted in our history is a passion for excellence delivered with utmost integrity.
At Siegel, every grain is more than a replication of heritage, it is a resurrection, anchored in history, executed with exactitude, and backed by over a century of excellent craftsmanship. We specialize in reviving lost leathers, those no longer commercially available, yet once prized by craftsmen centuries ago. This work is exacting and rare. We source the right raw material from remote corners of the world to recreate historic finishes with precision. We develop leathers no one else can.
Most of our skins are true aniline, completely unpigmented, requiring only the top fraction of hides with exceptional natural grain. We never mask imperfections or mechanically manipulate the surface. No boarding, glazing, or embossing. Just purity and integrity, preserving the grain-corium interface as nature intended.
Our leathers are lab-tested for purity; certified metal-free, 100% vegetable tanned, and free from harmful residues. And we do not source skins from India, in alignment with standards observed by institutions like HM Royal Stationer’s Office of the early 20th century
A legacy encasing a body of work like no other.
Rooted in our history that dates back to 1917, Siegel Leather has consistently delivered the highest quality, best-value products on the market. We perpetuate this legacy by continuously innovating, engineering bespoke leathers otherwise unavailable, allowing our clients to elevate their bookbinding creations to new heights.
Our streamlined, mail-based business model, coupled with our direct sourcing, ensures that we deliver top-tier quality at competitive prices. Our promise extends beyond the point of sale with a customer-friendly FREE return policy; any order may be returned within 14 days of receipt for a refund or store credit, as long as the skin is returned uncut and in its original condition.
Wonderful as always.
