🏡Family-Owned, Lebanon NJ
A Craft Built on Passion. A Business Built on Trust.
Lebanon Leather Work was founded by Tamer Mourshed, a master craftsman who came to the United States from the Middle East in the 1980s and spent years working with some of the most respected names in the leather goods industry -including Coach and Lido Handbag. He didn't just learn leatherwork. He built a lifelong relationship with it.
Inspired by his wife Hala and their family, Tamer established Lebanon Leather Work with a clear purpose: to offer the kind of leather repair and craftsmanship that actually respects what you bring in. The kind of care that doesn't cut corners, doesn't hide problems, and doesn't send your piece back looking "okay" when it can look exceptional.
Today, Lebanon Leather Work is one of the most trusted leather repair and custom goods workshops in New Jersey. We've restored hundreds of leather items - from designer handbags and vintage briefcases to worn furniture and broken-in boots - and we approach every single one the same way: personally, transparently, and with a satisfaction guarantee behind the work.

What We Repair & Create
Every Type of Leather Repair - One Expert Shop in Lebanon, New Jersey
Whether you're dealing with a cracked sofa, a broken boot, or a jacket with a zipper that gave up the fight, we handle it. Below are the core services we offer - each backed by the same level of care that has kept clients coming back to Lebanon Leather Work for years.
Leather Upholstery Repair
Leather upholstery - whether on a car seat, dining chair, or office sofa - develops cracks, tears, and color loss over time. Replacing it completely is expensive and often unnecessary. Our leather upholstery repair service restores upholstered pieces to their original look and feel, from patching visible cracks to resealing and color-matching damaged areas. We work on automotive interiors, commercial seating, and residential upholstery throughout New Jersey.
Shoe Repair
A quality pair of leather shoes can last a lifetime - but only if they're cared for properly. Whether you're dealing with worn-down soles, separating heels, broken stitching, or cracked leather uppers, our shoe repair service handles it with the precision the footwear deserves. We work on dress shoes, leather boots, loafers, and fashion footwear of all brands. Bring them in - we'll give you an honest assessment and a clear quote.
Leather Furniture Repair
That cracked leather sofa or worn-out recliner is usually one professional repair away from looking like itself again. Our leather furniture repair service covers cracks, scuffs, peeling, color fading, torn seams, and structural issues across sofas, sectionals, recliners, ottomans, and more. We work on leather furniture throughout New Jersey and match colors and finishes as closely as the original so repairs blend seamlessly.
Leather Jacket Repair
Leather jackets develop character as they age - but some damage needs a professional hand. Ripped seams, broken zippers, torn lining, worn elbows, panel cracks -we've repaired all of it. Our leather jacket repair service handles everything from quick single-fix jobs to full restoration, getting your most-worn piece back to where it can keep doing what it does best.
Purse Repair
Handbags and purses take more daily punishment than almost any other leather item - handles that weaken, zippers that fail, straps that break, linings that tear. Offer comprehensive restoration for bags of all types and brands, from everyday leather totes to high-end designer pieces. Whether it's a broken strap, a worn zipper, or a lining in need of replacement, our craftsmen will restore it properly.
Custom Leather Goods
Not everything we do is a repair. Lebanon Leather Work is also a destination for beautifully made leather goods -crafted to order, built to last, and designed around exactly what you want. Choose your leather type, color, hardware, dimensions, and finishing details and we'll create something that doesn't exist anywhere else. We work with individuals, designers, and businesses on custom leather pieces of every kind.

Accessories should be a sensory experience, and The Pouch Shoulder Bag by Lebanon Leather Work is designed to delight both the eyes and the hands.
The foundation of this piece is a premium, buttery-soft pebbled leather that has been meticulously hand-pleated and tucked by our master artisans. This creates a slouchy, pillowy, cloud-like form that rests comfortably under your arm or against your side.
To ground this soft structure, we topped it with a crisp, geometric triangular envelope flap, adding an element of clean corporate tailoring to a high-fashion pouch.

Your wallet is a daily reflection of your personal style. Lebanon Leather Work designed this bifold for the modern professional who appreciates heritage craftsmanship with an exotic edge.
The exterior is crafted from a high-grade genuine cowhide leather that has been deeply heat-stamped with a flawless crocodile scale texture. This process gives you the striking visual depth of high-end alligator leather while retaining the flexible, scratch-resistant longevity of premium cowhide.
Opening the wallet reveals a masterclass in compact organization. The left panel features four precision-cut horizontal slots to keep your primary credit cards and IDs neatly aligned and easy to slide out.
The right side features a built-in coin pocket covered by a secure leather flap, anchored by a polished, high-shine gold-tone snap button. This pocket safely houses coins, keys, or SIM cards without creating an uncomfortable bulge, allowing the wallet to maintain a slim profile that rests flat in your pocket.

Full-grain, top-grain, and genuine leather are the three main grades of real leather - differing significantly in quality, durability, and long-term appearance. Full grain is the highest quality; genuine leather is the lowest, despite its name.
Full-grain leather -highest quality
Cut from the outermost layer of the hide, retaining its natural grain and surface texture. The most durable leather available - it develops a rich patina over time and naturally resists moisture. Used in premium bags, wallets, and footwear. Expected lifespan: 20–50+ years.
Top-grain leather - mid to high quality
The surface is sanded or buffed to remove natural blemishes, giving a smooth, uniform finish. Slightly thinner and more pliable than full grain, but less durable long-term. The most widely used leather in mid-to-high range goods. Expected lifespan: 10–20 years.
Genuine leather - lowest real leather grade
Made from lower-quality hide layers left after the top layers are removed. More affordable but significantly less durable - tends to peel and crack within 3-5 years of regular use. Despite the word "genuine," this is the lowest quality of real leather, and the label can be misleading to buyers.
Bottom line: For durable, long-lasting leather goods, always choose full-grain or top-grain leather. "Genuine leather" does not indicate high quality.
