Handmade Hepburn Vintage Leather Sofa | British Made

The Hepburn is a generous, traditionally shaped handmade British sofa designed to feel settled and comfortable rather than formal. Its rolled arms, curved lines and loose cushions give it a familiar club-room feel, while the deeper seat allows you to properly sit back and relax. This is a deep-seated sofa built for everyday living, not occasional use.

Each Hepburn sofa is handmade to order in Britain on a solid hardwood frame. The frame gives the sofa its weight and stability, helping it stay supportive and square through years of regular use. This is traditional upholstery work, not mass-produced or lightweight furniture.

The proportions are deliberately relaxed. The seat depth allows you to settle in comfortably, while the loose back cushions soften the sit without letting the sofa become slack or shapeless. It works well for long evenings — reading, conversation or simply stretching out — while still providing proper support.

Seat and back cushions are removable. The seat cushions are built with a supportive foam core wrapped in ultra silk fibre, designed to hold their shape and provide consistent comfort over time rather than collapsing. The overall feel is supportive rather than soft.

The Hepburn is upholstered in Italian-tanned distressed vintage leather. This is a 100% natural, semi-aniline leather with visible grain, markings and variation in tone. Each sofa will be slightly different. Over time the leather softens and lightens rather than darkening, developing character instead of shine. All leather is oiled and waxed before delivery to nourish the hide and provide initial protection.

Traditional nailhead trim is used carefully to finish the shape, following the natural lines of the frame without making the sofa feel decorative or fussy. The detailing is restrained and practical, allowing the form and materials to do the work.

Available as a Snuggler, 2-Seater or 3-Seater, the Hepburn suits both snug rooms and larger living spaces, offering generous comfort without feeling oversized.

Like all our UK-made sofas, the Hepburn is built to be kept. The frame and upholstery can be repaired, re-stuffed or reupholstered in the future rather than replaced. It’s a straightforward, well-made leather sofa designed for long-term comfort and value.

The leather used in our furniture is a by-product of the farming industry. Using the hide ensures more of the animal is used rather than wasted. Our sofas are made using traditional upholstery methods and solid hardwood frames, which prioritise repair and re-covering over replacement. By making each leather sofa to order in Britain, we reduce unnecessary transport and support long-established British furniture making & upholstery skills.
