Customer Profile – Leather Hero

In 2017, Leanne Jurd rolled up her sleeves and dove headfirst into the world of e-commerce. With a background in corporate retail, a flair for colour, and an undeniable knack for restoration, she founded Leather Hero, a company that embodies the art of renewal. What began as a desire to build an online business soon became a passion-fuelled mission to breathe new life into tired leather goods.

From the outset, Leanne saw an opportunity to stand out. She brought something fresh and vibrant to an industry full of outdated websites and bland branding. Leather Hero combines a colourful, modern aesthetic with professional-grade leather care and repair products for the DIY community. Whether it’s a beloved leather sofa, well-traveled handbag, or classic car interior, Leanne’s kits and tools and online videos help customers restore them with confidence. Each kit is customisable and backed by a tannery-standard system—no shortcuts, no diluted formulas and all available online.

Leanne’s enthusiasm for “fixing old things” is more than just a personal joy; it’s a commitment to the circular economy and sustainable practices. Every restored item tells a story of revival, and Leather Hero is proud to play a part in that journey.
