Purchasing leather in Dublin/Ireland

Bunnyhopper · 2015-07-14 13:05:32

Can anyone recommend somewhere that I might buy a small piece of leather, preferably in Dublin but anywhere in Ireland or even elsewhere (with reasonable delivery costs) would be good. I've looked at leprevo.co.uk, which is a great site, but with their minimum order size and delivery charges it would work out quite costly.…

Can anyone recommend somewhere that I might buy a small piece of leather, preferably in Dublin but anywhere in Ireland or even elsewhere (with reasonable delivery costs) would be good.

I'd like to try making a wallet, so I don't need a huge amount of material.

Are there any shoemakers or the like who might sell a small offcut?

Any advice on the grade or weight of leather or thread to get, or on how to make-do with regular tools, etc. would also be very much appreciated.

Thanks.
