About Us: Quality, Heritage, and Direct Value

Our Story

Founded in 2002, South America Direct began as a premier supplier for elite interior designers and boutique specialist shops. In 2004, we opened our doors to the public, launching our online store to offer the same designer-grade hides at wholesale prices. Today, we stand as one of the largest importers of premium cowhides in the UK and Europe.

The South America Direct Difference

We specialize in 100% hand-picked, high-grade upholstery cowhides sourced directly from South America. Each piece is carefully selected for its texture, softness, and unique natural patterns. By importing in bulk and operating from our own warehouses rather than expensive retail showrooms, we eliminate the middleman and pass those significant savings directly to you.

Why Choose Us?

• Designer Quality, Direct Prices: Our hides are identical to those found in high-end stores for £350–£650. By buying direct, you get the same luxury for a fraction of the cost.

• Next-Day Delivery: Orders placed before 12:00 PM are dispatched the same day via UPS for next-working-day delivery within the UK. We also offer express shipping across Europe (2-4 days) and worldwide.

• Security & Trust: Your peace of mind is our priority. All payments are securely processed by Lloyds Bank Group via SagePay.

• Money-Back Guarantee: We take immense pride in our premium quality. If you aren't completely satisfied, we offer a "no questions asked" money-back guarantee, with refunds typically processed within 48 hours.

Partnerships: We continue to support the trade. Distributors, interior designers, and resellers are always welcome to contact us for wholesale inquiries.
