Fabrics and Leathers

At John Hitch Seating, the materials we use are as important as the craftsmanship itself. We work with an extensive range of premium upholstery fabrics and fine leathers to ensure every piece we create or restore is tailored to your aesthetic and built to last.

Whether you’re sourcing fabric for a bespoke banquette, selecting leather for a mid-century armchair, or reupholstering a contemporary sofa, we guide you through every step of the selection process.

Sourcing from Leading Fabric Houses

We collaborate with some of the most respected names in the industry, including:

Pierre Frey, Dedar, Kvadrat, Rubelli, Holland & Sherry, Nobili, Élitis, Designers Guild, Romo, Lelièvre, and Sørensen – among many others. We’re also happy to work with fabrics supplied by interior designers or directly by clients.

Natural, Sustainable, and Performance Textiles

From pure wool, cotton, and linen to recycled performance textiles and sustainable leather alternatives, we help you find materials that match your values as well as your vision.

Leather Specialists

For clients who love the luxury and durability of leather, we offer a curated range of aniline, semi-aniline, nubuck, and vegetable-tanned leathers in a wide variety of colours and finishes, ideal for heirloom quality furniture.

Samples and Support

We offer fabric swatches and expert advice on durability, pattern placement, and application, whether you’re upholstering a one of a kind chair or a full suite of seating for a commercial interior.
