May be worth speaking to Marvelpress as they have been working with sublimation leather.

Still worth speaking to them, surely they have to source leather before they can coat it? :-)

Try googling tannery laser cut, see if that helps.

Basically anyone with a laser cutter can do this for you. Obviously the problem is finding them. You could try to source the leather from [url="http://www.theidentitystore.co.uk/prodcats.asp?catID=56]these people[/url] and then use a commercial cutting service such as [url="http://www.razorlab.co.uk/] razorlab [/url] or [url="http://www.cutlasercut.com/get-in-touch] clc creative[/url]. For a more extensive range of leather supplies I used to use [url="http://www.leprevo.co.uk/] leprovo [/url]but I stopped making shoes a long time ago. They also do loads of stuff from leatherwork and belt making to saddles and zips. perhaps you may be inspired to make some sublimation hobnail boots lol. They are a little overpriced so you could save money on full leather sheets on fleabay [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/shop4leather/ ... ksid=p3686]this supplier [/url]has some lovely pieces. For softer pieces choose the split which is thinner and is generally used for shoe uppers and handbags, the full thickness is very stiff and generally has to be hammered. In your area I have found Entecon Laser Cutting in sandhurst. Give them a call and discuss what you want they should be able to help.
Hope this helps.
