Upholstery Leather

Upholstery Leather Price Per Metre

Upholstery leather from Rijs Textiles is a practical option for anyone reupholstering furniture or starting a small leather craft project. This range is a blend of 80% PVC and 20% polyester, which gives you a material that looks and handles like leather but costs less and cleans more easily. The fabric comes in a width of 140 cm and weighs 650 grams per square metre, so it has enough body to hold its shape on furniture frames without becoming stiff or hard to sew. You order it by the metre, which keeps things flexible whether you need a small repair piece or enough yardage for a full sofa.

What This Leather Is Used For

The main use is furniture upholstery. Chairs, sofas and armchairs all benefit from a material that resists daily wear, spills and the occasional scratch from a pet or a set of keys. Because the surface wipes clean, it works well in households with kids or in commercial settings like waiting rooms and restaurants. Beyond furniture, the same fabric turns up in cushions, table runners and storage bags, where the slightly stiff hand adds structure that a soft textile can't give. Reupholstery projects are another common application. If you have an old armchair with good bones but tired fabric, this leather gives it a second life without the cost of a new piece.

Composition and Width

At 80% PVC and 20% polyester, this is a synthetic leather rather than genuine hide. That combination keeps the price per metre reasonable while still giving you a surface that resists cracking and fading better than cheaper vinyl alternatives. The 140 cm width covers most upholstery panels in one piece, which cuts down on seams. At 650 grams per square metre, it sits in the medium-heavy range for upholstery textiles, thick enough for armrests and seat cushions but not so heavy that it fights you under a domestic sewing machine.

Ordering by the Metre and Wholesale Options

You can order this upholstery leather starting from 6 metres, which opens up wholesale pricing for workshops, upholsterers and businesses buying in bulk. Private customers are just as welcome to order smaller quantities for a single reupholstery job. Every roll ships from our warehouse in Tilburg, and the leather is delivered rolled rather than folded, so you don't end up with permanent crease lines across a cushion panel. If you're unsure about the colour or feel before committing to metres, you can request a fabric sample for 0.50 euro.

Looking for a Thinner Alternative

If 650 grams per square metre feels too heavy for your project, our vegan leather is worth a look. It has a thinner build suited to clothing and lighter decorative work, with a different drape and texture than this upholstery-grade material. For softer furnishing fabrics in cotton, our canvas fabric and unbleached cotton ranges are common pairings for cushion backs or lining. Those wanting a sheen instead of a matte leather finish often browse our satin fabric or panne velvet collections for cushions and accents that sit alongside a leather sofa.

Why Choose This Upholstery Leather

This is a straightforward choice for reupholstering a chair, covering a sofa panel or building leather accessories that need to survive daily handling. The 140 cm width limits seams, the weight suits both furniture and smaller projects, and ordering by the metre means you pay for what you actually need. Browse the full range and order a sample first if you want to check the colour and feel against your project before placing a larger order.
