Dakota Antique Leather Suede Upholstery Fabric
Dakota is a heavyweight faux-leather upholstery fabric with the warm look of antique leather and the durability of woven polyester. It gives you the aesthetic of vintage tan or aged saddle leather at a fraction of the price – without the cracking, peeling, or maintenance you get with real hides.
We sell Dakota by the metre at 145cm wide, cut in one continuous piece, and dispatched same-day from UK stock.
Look & Feel
The face of Dakota has the soft, slightly waxy sheen of broken-in leather, with subtle grain detail and a warm antique tone that flatters traditional, industrial, and modern interiors alike. Underneath is a 100% polyester weave that won’t crack, peel or dry out under spotlights, near radiators, or with sustained daily use.
A water-resistant treatment means spills bead on the surface and wipe away rather than soaking in – useful in households with children, pets, or food at the sofa.
Durability & Compliance
Dakota is certified to BS 5852 Part 1 with Schedule 4 – Parts 1 & 2, the UK standard required for domestic upholstery and soft furnishings. That means it can be specified for sofas, ottomans, headboards, dining chairs and cushions with full confidence that it meets fire-safety regulations.
At 248gsm it’s substantial enough to hold its shape, take staples cleanly and stand up to years of daily wear – but still soft enough to feed through a domestic sewing machine using a leather or heavy-duty needle.
Versatility
From a single dining chair seat pad to a full sofa rebuild, Dakota covers the range of common upholstery projects without compromise. It’s a particular favourite for golf simulator seating and impact-side wall covering – ball marks are nearly invisible on the antique finish – which is why we keep it in stock at TEKDEN.
