Bespoke Leather Designs Now Available from Ireland’s Leading Bluegrass Songwriter Niall Toner
October 12, 2020
Niall Toner has recently turned his hand to his old trade, that of a leather tailor. During the 80s and 90s, Niall made leather garments under the TONER LEATHERS brand in Dublin, and developed quite a reputation for his unique designs, and in particular, his legendary TONER Motorcycle Jackets and Racing Suits. Sadly, the late 90s brought recession, and the business ceased. Niall turned to his music on a full-time basis, performed all over the world, served as an IMRO Board Member, presented radio shows on RTE Radio One, and developed his songwriting abilities.
Now, in 2020, with the music business in big trouble, Niall has revived his leather work, and is making guitar straps, shoulder bags, spectacle cases, belts and foot pouffes from e-cycled leather, salvaged from old couches and re-purposed leather garments.
