Products and positioning
According to trade publication Leatherbiz, the brand's nappa leather comes from Turkey, Pakistan and India, and some of its shearling comes from Australia. Its site presents separate women's and men's luxury shearling collections.
Circular offer
Boda Skins also repairs and resells used leather jackets that customers exchange for a credit note, an approach that extends the life of its products.
Distribution
The brand sells through its own website. In January 2021 it announced a retail partnership with Harvey Nichols, which began selling its jackets in its Manchester flagship store and online.
Why it matters
Boda Skins shows how a small British outerwear specialist combines direct online sales, a department store partner and a resale programme within a single niche.
