I’ve always thought that leather furniture needs to be considered in the same way that you need to think when investing in a pair of good quality leather shoes. Shoes like that need to be comfortable, stylish and made to last. I have a many times resoled pair of Barkers brogues that I bought in the Midlands in about 1982 in the days when I played rugby for the Harlequins of London. The Leather ‘recover’ job that Lounge Design have done on our sofa ticks all of the same boxes my shoes do and I paid full price for the shoes and the sofa because I didn’t want to compromise on quality…I got exactly what I paid for.
