CITY SHEEPSKIN in Bethnal Green Rd, they have my strongest recommendation!

I’m looking for someone to help me construct some garments and I don’t have the tools for leather work.

Great article on a fantastic emporium of colourful tactile delights & exotic smells from the skins.

The place, blessedly, never changes. And Malcolm is a legend. You used to see Alexander McQueen come for sampling skins back in the day. There are still a few gems hidden away like this: try Alma in Whitechapel or Batchelors in de Beauvoir.

Makes me want to slip it on right now as autumn’s chill winds are finally descending upon us.

The owners and employees look like ‘family’ members pleased with their daily tasks. They work with such vibrant materials.

Thanks for introducing us to them!

This establishment has colour, and a rainbow of skilled people, it is thriving and employing all ages, it is in the heart of a vibrant community……. and almost best of all, it has a newly made sheepskin waistcoat. I was so hoping there would be a photo of it, and there was! The skill and expertise shining out from this post is breath taking. Thank you so much. We need to hear the stories about migrants/refugees coming and enriching our society, as they do and have done throughout time, and as they will do.

Your new waistcoat is very smart, stay warm! Valerie
