Leather Main

Premium European Leather is a timeless and beautiful material perfect for almost any upholstery or design application imaginable. Despite the many alternatives available that try to mimic or replace leather, no other material can match the look, scent, feel or durability of Dragonfly’s premium hand-picked leather hides.

Fueled by the recent influx of cheaper imports, customer demand for leather has increased dramatically in recent years. However, to many end-user customers, leather is leather. Naturally, this perception is far from the truth. Throughout our recent visits to leading European tanneries and shows, we have personally examined thousands of leather articles in a stunning range of finishes, colours, textures, and technical specifications. Dragonfly’s Premium Leather line represents the best Europe has to offer. Most importantly, we bring you the latest in leather material trends and technology, so that you can differentiate your projects using exclusive materials available nowhere else in the Pacific Northwest.

Leather - Exotics

Exotic leathers such as ostrich, stingray, snake, fish, and crocodile are often the defining touch of any project using such materials. Dragonfly Ostrich has been making all kinds of in roads into a number of different industries and sectors in Europe and more recently in North America. Ostrich’s appeal is its unique look and texture created by the quills, and it is one of the strongest and most durable leathers available. In their continuing quest for new alternatives and different materials, European designers and fashion houses have been incorporating real ostrich into their designs. Ostrich is available in both standard hides and leg hides. Ostrich leg hides have a unique reptilian look and feel to them. As leg hides are small they have limited applications, but can provide dramatic results when used in certain applications such as accents on dining room chairs.
