A New Chapter with a Purpose
Now under the ownership of Wouter van Schalkwyk, Leather & Canvas continues its commitment to quality and service, but with an even greater vision. Wouter, a passionate entrepreneur, saw the need for small businesses, start-ups, and individuals to access top-quality leather products without breaking the bank. Instead of mass-produced, low-quality alternatives, we handpick the best materials, repackaging them into more manageable sizes so that both hobbyists and small businesses can afford premium leather crafting supplies.
But Leather & Canvas is about more than just selling products—it’s about building a community of makers, artisans, and entrepreneurs. Wouter’s dream is to expand beyond selling supplies, offering both online and in-person workshopswhere aspiring crafters can learn the art of leather and canvas crafting.
Join Us on This Journey
Leather & Canvas is more than a business—it’s a passion, a craft, and a community. We love hearing from our fellow makers and welcome your feedback, ideas, and product suggestions. Together, we can make leather and canvas crafting more accessible, exciting, and rewarding.

About Us
At Leather & Canvas, we believe in the art of craftsmanship, the thrill of creating something with your own hands, and the joy of seeing a vision come to life. What started as a passionate hobby—crafting our own leather and canvas accessories—quickly grew into a deep appreciation for the trade. However, we soon realized the challenge many crafters face: finding quality tools, fasteners, and materials in smaller, more affordable quantities.
That’s when Leather & Canvas was born.
