About Us

Harmatan was established in the early 1980s to supply the finest quality vegetable-tanned goatskins and offer smooth-grained calf skins for bookbinders. Our reputation for exceptional quality spread rapidly amongst specialist binders in the United Kingdom and around the world.

We are a family owned and operated company with a dedicated and skilled tannery staff who put a firm emphasis on quality and traditional craft skills.

We are happy to offer the benefit of broad experience and provide expert advice on applications and materials.
