North East leather business moves to new premises after year of growth

A North East leather business has announced that it has moved into new premises after a year of growth.

Coupland Leather, which reported a 675 per cent growth last year, has moved into The BIS in Hartlepool, a workspace for creative businesses.

This comes just weeks after securing an five reseller partnerships with The Alnwick Garden, House of Zana, Rejoy at Teesside Airport, Owen Scott Bespoke and the Master Debonair.

Stuart Copeland, founder of Coupland Leather, commented: “It’s been an incredible few months. I’ve added a new handbag, sunglasses cases and cartridge cases to the product range and I’m in discussions with additional potential resellers in Leeds and London.

“The move to the BIS has meant that the business is now set up for future growth – having completely outgrown the previous workspace.”

Simon Whitaker, managing director of Master Debonair, said: “I’ve been watching Coupland Leather for a while now and I’ve finally got my act together to stock these handmade, hand-dyed leather products.

“I’m really proud to be working with such a fantastic North East business.”
