Welcome to Hewits!

Our Online Shop is extensive and includes a wide selection of equipment, tools, materials and sundries, catering to the requirements of both craft and commercial bookbinders around the World. We endeavour to keep our range of products up to date, and often have company and product news to share with you. We regularly have discontinued and second-hand items to sell in the Bargain Basement section of our shop.

Please also have a look at our biannual newsletter Skin Deep, as it is packed full of interesting items. Lovely examples of our customer's work using our leather can be seen in the Showcase area.

We are a well established company with a 200 year History of manufacturing the finest quality leathers for bookbinding and leathergoods production. We are proud to have held a Royal Warrant for nearly 50 years, firstly to Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II, and more recently to His Majesty King Charles III.
