Welcome to Hewits!
Hewits is a small, family run tannery based in Scotland. Our luxury, hand-crafted leather is carefully selected and tailored specifically for bookbinding and leathercraft, serving both professional businesses and passionate hobbyists. Through our extensive online shop, we offer a wide range of equipment, tools, materials and sundries to meet the needs of craft and commercial bookbinders around the world.
We regularly have discounted and second-hand items available in our Bargain Basement.
As a family business, we care deeply about the people, materials and traditions behind everything we sell. You can find out more about our approach to sustainability, ethical working and our values in our ‘About Us’ section.
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.
