Connolly Leather

Connolly leather gained such prominence in the world of luxury travel beyond cars, such as private jets and yachts, that it was selected for high profile projects as Concorde and the Queen Elizabeth 2 ocean liner.

Connolly earned a Royal Warrant, being appointed Leather Tanners and Curriers to Queen Elizabeth II.

In addition to upholstery, Connolly Leather has been used in the manufacture of high-end sound audio components such as the B&W Signature 800 series loudspeakers as an expression of the quality and luxury status of the item.

The family started a retail business, Connolly Luxury Leathergoods Limited, selling exclusive and bespoke leather goods and accessories.

An attempt to expand into the American market in the 1990s failed badly and Connolly Leather ceased trading in June 2002.
