Defender Leather Handle - Safari Door, Heritage Style
Defender Leather Handle - Safari Door, Heritage Style
Couldn't load pickup availability
Upgrade the feel of your Defender with a handcrafted heritage style leather handle cover, designed specifically for the rear safari door.
Cold metal becomes warm and tactile with a piece of full grain leather that’s made to last and built to fit perfectly.
Each cover is cut, dyed, stitched, and finished entirely by hand in my workshop, following the same process as my popular Jimny and Defender interior handles. The result is a small detail that transforms the daily experience of opening and closing the rear door.
Available in three timeless leather colours – Black, Tan, and Walnut – and finished with your choice of stitching. Whether you prefer a subtle match or a contrasting stitch that stands out, this handle cover adds a touch of heritage style to your Defender.
You also have the option to purchase the cover fitted on a brand new aftermarket replacement handle as seen in the photographs. This is a direct replacement for your existing handle and a good choice if yours is looking a little beat up from years of fun on the tracks.
✔️ Fits Land Rover Defender rear safari door handles
✔️ Full-grain leather – strong, durable, and ages beautifully
✔️ Hand-stitched edging using traditional saddle stitch technique
✔️ Choice of Black, Tan, or Walnut leather
✔️ Choice of matching or contrast stitching
✔️ Easy to install and designed for a perfect fit
Small detail, big upgrade – every time you open your rear door.
Simple Fit, Solid Feel
If you are purchasing to fit on your existing Defender door handle you will be supplied with strong waxed thread & needles for easy fitting.
Lace them on in a criss-cross pattern (like shoelaces) and they’ll tighten into place, creating a secure, comfortable grip that feels factory-fitted.
- Unbolt your handle
- Thread your included blunt needles.
- Loosely lace the handle cover on.
- Once you have threaded through the holes in a criss-crossed pattern, pull the loops tight one or two loops at a time from your starting point. Much like how you would lace your shoes then gradually tighten them up. A small hook or even an Allen Key can help you pull the loops really tightly for a snug fit.
There's a general fitting guide for handles on our Youtube channel. The process is the same for any leather handle covers you choose.
Don't want to fit it yourself?
If you are purchasing the cover pre-fitted to a new aftermarket replacement handle you only need to unscrew your existing handle and replace it in seconds.
Alternatively for UK customers you can send your handle in to our UK workshop after placing your order and we'll fit it for you.

Really impressed with the quality of the leather handle set, they have transformed the interior. Thoroughly recommend to anyone considering purchasing these.
Super easy to fit, very useful piece of kit, would recommend to anyone!
I’m really impressed with this panel. The video was really easy to follow and very useful. The quality of the panel is great and the fitting template was essential. Everything is well thought out. Would highly recommend for use in multiple places on a defender. I fitted mine inside the top cover of my cubby box.
So pleased with both this and the Safari Door Handle Leather Cover - incredible quality!
Amazing quality - real traditional leather and real traditional craftsmanship!
Yeah nice, great colour and feel.
