Defender Safari Door Handle Leather Cover - Heritage Style

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 (2002 onwards)

✔️ 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.

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.

Made by hand. Worn by time. Built to last.
