High-end leather doesn't have to carry a high-end price tag. At Leather Lady NC, we source our inventory directly from furniture manufacturer overstocks, designer closeouts, and exclusive liquidations. These are the same full-grain and top-grain hides seen on other sites for $265 to $450 per hide.
Because we hunt for bargains and buy in bulk, we can pass those savings on to you. Our hides start at just $125, saving you 50% to 75% every single day.
The DIYer’s Advantage
There are some drawbacks to buying from us:
-
Who we cater to: Crafters, DIY, remodelers, and homeowners who are happy with a "medium brown" and not a specific color of brown.
-
The Quality: You are getting full grain and top grain leather. Most of our leather comes from overruns of high end furniture companies. The quality is there but we may only have 1-5 hides of a particular color.
-
The Selection: We sell by color family (shades) rather than exact dye-lot codes. See our images for the colors.
Is this right for your project?
To keep our prices this low, we operate a little differently from other leather stores:
-
✅ YES, this is for you if: You are reupholstering a chair, an ottoman, or a small sofa and want the highest quality leather for the lowest possible price. If you order 2–5 hides, we will hand-match them from our current stock to ensure they look beautiful together.
-
❌ NO, this is likely not for you if: You are an interior designer requiring 10+ hides of an exact, specific dye-lot for a large commercial project, or if you are trying to perfectly match an existing piece of furniture you already own.

How We Sell (Please Read!)
We sell by Color Shade rather than specific color matches.
-
The "Shade" Rule: You select the general family (light brown, dark brown, medium brown). While the photos show our most common stock, every hide is unique.
-
No Color Matching: We cannot match a swatch or an existing piece of furniture. Leather is a natural product, and dye lots vary.
-
Natural Character: Expect the "story" of the hide—natural imperfections, healed scars, or brand marks are part of the authentic leather experience.
