Garrett Leather was born from humble beginnings—founded in the attic of Cameron Brown’s home, known as a garret in Old English. Since then, we’ve grown into the leather upholstery partner of choice, defining the interiors of luxury aircraft, automobiles, yachts, commercial spaces, and private residences.
We proudly serve interior designers, upholsterers, and manufacturers by providing the highest quality leather solutions while offering educational opportunities to deepen their understanding of leather’s craftsmanship and applications. Still privately owned and family-run, we remain deeply committed to delivering personal attention, care, and exceptional service to each of our clients.
Sustainability is woven into our craft. We thoughtfully source premium raw materials from across Europe and maintain trusted relationships with the world’s most elite and ethically responsible tanneries. Together, we create purposeful leather products that reflect our values of quality, integrity, and intention.
