Fleming Howland

Heirs to age-old practices, Fleming Howland is a furniture maker from Lancashire, England. With a legacy that is continuously evolving, objects of functional beauty are brought to life.

With origins of a small cottage industry, the family migrated from the forests of High Wycombe to the plains of Lancashire where it quietly operates under an exclusive direct to consumer business model. A Fleming Howland client will know that their hand‐dyed leathers are not machine made. The colouring process is both science and an art. Dyes are mixed and gently massaged into the leather which is then allowed to dry. This process is repeated at least six times to ensure a beautifully toned finish. The result is a leather that isn’t just incredibly supple, but transmits a distinctive, warm natural fragrance. Best of all, the dyes result in a natural aging process that improves the look of the leather over time and use. The resultant patina is one of the most unique and radiant colours with an almost three‐dimensional finish.

Notions of what it means to be made in England permeates every stitch and fold. At its heart is the meticulous skill of the craftsman and the belief that the legacy will continue to be passed down. This enduring spirit gives a unique perspective to Fleming Howland furniture, imbuing the maker with a much deeper sense of purpose.
