Leather Prices Rise!

Dena Hamilton - Friday, September 16, 2011

Dear Great Leather Customers,

I feel the need to share this news post from my leather supplier, as I was shocked at my last invoice!

Dear Dena ,

Sadly as you've probably heard on the Radio, Television, Print Media & the Internet, the world (not just this country) is seeing a HUGE increase in all basic commodities but particularly COTTON & LEATHER!   We will be posting regular updates on our website (News Section) with regards to hides and finished leather prices.   We do not wish to alarm you but simply to inform you that there will be some price increases in leather across the board.   Helping fuel the price jump has been a growing middle class in China, Vietnam and other Asian Countries as well as India where consumers are buying leather goods as incomes rise.   As economies around the world recover from recession, consumers are again buying luxury leather goods.   We will do our best to hold any price increases to the very bare MINIMUM! ....................


So... sadly Great Leather has to raise prices also.  Fortunately, leather creates a long lasting product so that purchasing leathergoods is still a good decision - and a fun one!

Thanks for your understanding,

Dena
