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.

Love range of colours and good quality thread

Not used yet as I ran out of time but I loved the range of colours and the thread is good quality.

Dyed Linen Thread
Great to have thread in smaller quantities.

I was very pleased to see this linen thread in a smaller size and not on a spool. I have dyscalculia and constantly muddle the size / thickness of the threads when buying them so have a number of spools of the same thickness when I wanted a fine thread. Got it right this time and wont have it sitting around for years!

Brilliant service as usual

Brilliant service as usual, can’t fault it. Nice product and an economical way to it rather than a whole roll.
