GUTERMANN LEATHER SEWING THREADS
When it comes to working with leather, not just any thread will do. Leather is thick, textured, and often unforgiving—so your sewing thread needs to be just as strong, resilient, and reliable. That’s where Gutermann leather sewing threads come in. Known globally for their premium quality and performance, Gutermann threads are trusted by professionals and hobbyists alike. Whether you’re crafting a fine leather wallet, upholstery, footwear, or motorcycle gear, using the right sewing threads for leather is essential for durability and style.
Why Leather Needs Specialised Sewing Threads
Unlike cotton or denim, leather requires a thread that can handle its density without breaking or fraying. It also needs to look clean and precise on the surface since most stitches are visible. The right leather sewing thread will not only hold everything together—it will elevate the entire finish of the item.
Gutermann has designed a range of specialised sewing threads for leather that provide high tensile strength, UV resistance, and a professional-grade finish that’s ideal for leathercraft, industrial applications, and high-end fashion.
Let’s take a closer look at the most popular Gutermann leather sewing threads available at Vardhman A&E Threads Australia.
Gutermann Mara 30 – Bold & Durable
Gutermann Mara 30 is a go-to thread for visible seams in leathercraft. It's a strong, polyester core-spun thread that offers excellent abrasion resistance.
