I was in a pickle. Dining room chairs needed reupholstering. Pearlized white leather was my vision but couldn’t be found in my area. With a wish & prayer, Global Leathers/Andrew Crystal was contacted online.

Their Canyon article is hands down the best leather in the world. As a designer I always show this leather to my clients first because of its buttery, rich look and feel. Everyone falls in love with it and Global makes the process so easy.

Been coming to Global Leathers for 5 years since moving to NYC. Nothing but amazing service and friendly faces. I have been working with them even after relocation of the shop, and not once has there been a miscommunication with there hours or location. The leather standards and knowledge of the staff always is outstanding. I have called and described a hide i bought in the past before heading over, and if they could not find exactly what I had, they were able to show me similar hides that would work with the design. They have taught me so much about leather and its just so welcoming. Today, I went in and its felt like visiting family. We were all joking around together, laughing and having fun. It felt so much like home.
