About Leodis Leather

I began leatherwork in 2009 as a hobby to compliment my cutlery collecting. Many production knives come with sheaths that aren’t that nice and I had always wanted to be able to make my own!

I quickly realised that leatherwork can be quite expensive, so in order to help pay for materials and tools I began to make some things to sell in my spare time.

I have now sold leatherwork to people from the UK as well as USA (Arizona, Texas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Washington, New York, Georgia, Massachusetts and New Hampshire), Canada, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Russia, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Czech Republic, Ukraine, China, Greenland, Jordan and Australia.

It’s great to think of things that I’ve made being used all over the World!

Leodis Leather Origins

I decided that I had better come up with a name and a maker’s mark, and so Leodis Leather was born. I did not want to mark my work with my name as it’s too long to fit into a small logo! Leodis is the old name for Leeds and the owl is the emblem of the city of Leeds.

My work may be marked with one of the following four logos:

There is no more space than that which you see in the photo below but I manage!
