Leather
Leather remains a popular material in the jewellery industry, prized for its versatility in bracelets, necklaces, and mixed-media designs. For UK jewellers and designers, leather pieces appeal to a wide demographic, from luxury buyers seeking artisanal craftsmanship to younger consumers favouring casual, contemporary styles. Suppliers and manufacturers play a key role in ensuring consistent quality and sourcing sustainable, ethically produced leather to meet evolving consumer expectations.
Jewellery Focus provides detailed coverage of the leather jewellery segment, from product launches and design trends to insights on supply chain practices, sustainability issues, and market opportunities. We also report on business strategies for retailers and wholesalers looking to maximise sales of leather accessories within their collections.
