Some would describe Howard as being the quintessential shabby-chic leather sofa and we would certainly have to agree, he has the low pleated arms with hand-studded sides, the walnut stained turned front legs with antiqued brass castors and he wears the most gorgeous vintage leather which makes him look wise beyond his years. Although he may have a French leather sofa kind of look about him, Howard is completely handmade in England down to every last stud. Even his leather is English, and what a leather it is, aniline and of the highest quality, vintage to the eye and super soft and smooth to the touch, lovely! If you like the look of Howard you should meet his two younger brothers, they too possess the same excellent genes and handsome design but they're just not quite as grown up yet.
