Long-standing UK leather supplier ceases operations

The UK leather merchant Metropolitan Leather Company has announced its immediate closure.

The company posted a notice on its website and Facebook page stating: “It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the immediate closure of Metropolitan Leather. We are deeply grateful to all our customers for their loyal support over the years,” adding that its current range of leathers will continue to be available through other suppliers.

Metropolitan Leather, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2019, had long served the UK leather-finishing and supply-chain community, building a strong reputation among industry customers.
