About Us
At Leather Republic, a jacket is never just a jacket. It’s a second skin — a declaration of who you are, stitched with intention and crafted to last a lifetime.
The story began in London, though its roots stretch back to Istanbul. Our founder, Baris, grew up surrounded by the artistry of leatherwork from his family’s factory in Turkey. After moving to London to study economics, he carried this heritage with him, setting up a stall in Spitalfields Market. There, a simple truth became clear: everyone was searching for the right leather jacket — one that felt personal, refined, and perfectly their own.
Leather Republic was born to answer that call.
Every piece we create begins with a conversation. We listen to your style, your needs, and the way you want to feel in your jacket. From there, you choose from 25+ colours, tailored cuts, and bespoke details. Our skilled artisans in Turkey and Italy bring your vision to life, handcrafting each jacket with precision and care. Within weeks, you receive more than clothing — you receive something that feels like it was made for no one else but you.
We believe in craft, confidence, and connection. Each jacket is more than an investment in style; it is a piece of identity, designed to move with you through the streets of London, across continents, and into the future.
Leather Republic does not chase trends. We build legacies. We empower individuals to wear who they are with quiet strength, subtle rebellion, and enduring elegance.
Wear your second skin. Own your story. Join the Republic.
