The General Leather on Chiltern Street London W1


I recently worked at the General Leather for a window refit. The store has been around for 40 years and had not been refurbished in a long while.

This was a low budget refit, so I suggested a few small but important changes to the window display: to raise the floor to the glass level, buy a new lighting track with new LED lighting system and buy a small number of new mannequins with legs and arms as they only had bust forms. The retailer is specialist in bespoke leather garments, accessories and leather interior design. I came up with a couple of concepts to highlight the bespoke part of the business, including a leather wall installation, however the final decision was to have a Christmas window scheme as well as an element of the leather making, hence the backdrop with details of work in progress. In the future we may well create a leather workshop in the window, as it is a very specious space and has great potentials.
