With nearly 50 years of experience working with designers in the residential, hospitality, contract, aviation and transportation markets around the world, we provide top-of-the-line leathers that are as unique as each of our customers.

Our trained professionals are experts at understanding the many nuances of leather. We manage the entire process with the highest of quality standards (Townsend Leather has an AS9100 Certification) from start to finish: from your initial consultation, determining the best approach to your project, right through dyeing and finishing, to final delivery of your leather.

At Townsend Leather, we are the manufacturer. We are craftsmen and artisans of leather, not just distributors or marketers. For us, this is a life passion and a family-owned business, not just another job. Red Kucel founded our company in 1969, and his family, now in its third generation of leadership, continues to run the business. Our leather is produced in our state-of-the-art facility located in upstate New York, about 50 miles northwest of Albany.

We can match the hue, value and chroma of any paint chip, carpet sample, fabric sample or Pantone number, or any other color reference. We can create custom embossing for any pattern, design, logo or idea. We can custom-craft the exact leather you are looking for. Or you can select the perfect leather from our standard lines, or choose from our ever-growing options of fast-shipping in-stock options. At the heart of Townsend’s creative design solutions is a service unique in the industry, one that unites the creativity and vision of the interior designer with the experience, skill and workmanship of the leather manufacturer.
