What are your client’s priorities at the moment?

The current priorities that our Clients have would be achieving colour and individuality from the vast range of product that we have.

What is good design to you?

Good design represents practicality and longevity in the products utilisation.

We see the future as being very bright as people embrace our wide range of products.  We have developed specialised outdoor leathers which are unique in Australia as well as chrome free leathers for products which require an environmental sensitivity. 

As more people become aware of the range of leathers and prices that we can offer for good quality items, our name will spread as it has through the Commercial and Residential Industry and this name will then become synonymous with quality and reliability that is important in the current environment that we have.
