Leather armrest covers
The arm is where a sofa cracks first: hands, elbows and sleeves rub the same spot every day. A leather armrest cover takes that wear instead. Ours are cut from Crazy Horse leather, a waxed pull-up leather that hides light scratches and recovers with warmth.
Every piece here is drawn, cut, edged and saddle-stitched by hand at our workbench in Istanbul — Zafer at the bench, Pınar at the drawing table. Most are made after you order, in the leather colour and size you choose.

Questions about armrest covers
How do I choose the size?
Measure the flat top of the arm, front to back and side to side, and pick the nearest size. The size guide on the product page lists every size in centimetres and inches.
Why do leather sofas crack on the arm?
Body oil, friction and sunlight concentrate there. Our Journal article on sofa armrest wear explains it, and how a cover helps.
