At Casper Hill Leather, we take great pride in partnering with some of the most talented upholstery professionals in the industry. Recently, we had the pleasure of visiting Ladies Touch of Newport, a full-service upholstery and custom fabrication workroom with an incredible reputation for craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail.

Founded in 1980 by Lee Davis, Ladies Touch has grown from a small upholstery shop into a powerhouse of custom fabrication, serving clients with furniture reupholstery, draperies, custom quilting, boat interiors, and more. Their commitment to quality, integrity, and innovation is why they’ve become a trusted name in the industry—and why we are so proud to be one of their leather suppliers.

Masters of Upholstery & Custom Fabrication

Touring their workroom, it was clear that Lee Davis and her son Skylar take great pride in the craftsmanship and detail of every project. The team at Ladies Touch handles everything from spring repair and foam replacement to meticulous hand-tacked finishing, ensuring every piece is beautifully restored. Whether it’s a modern masterpiece or a cherished antique, their reupholstery work is second to none.

At the heart of their upholstery team is lead upholsterer Jessica, who has been with Ladies Touch since finishing high school. Over the years, she has honed her expertise under the guidance of skilled mentors and now leads all upholstery projects with a sharp eye for detail, technical mastery, and a deep passion for the craft. Her dedication ensures that every piece that leaves their workroom is nothing short of exceptional.

And when it comes to materials? They know exactly how to work with premium leather. Seeing Casper Hill leather in action on their beautifully upholstered pieces was a true highlight of our visit!

Beyond Upholstery: Draperies, Bedding & More

Ladies Touch doesn’t just stop at furniture—they create entire spaces with their expertise in custom draperies, shades, valances, and cornices. Their in-house woodshop allows them to fabricate stunning cornice boards, and their design team offers a vast selection of hardware and fabrics to complement any style.

For those looking to add a touch of luxury to their bedrooms, their hand-guided quilting and custom bedding services are second to none. From quilted spreads to duvet covers, pillow shams, and dust skirts, their work exudes elegance and comfort.

Custom Boat Interiors: Marine Upholstery at Its Finest

Newport is known for its strong maritime culture, and Ladies Touch is the go-to shop for custom boat interiors. Using only marine-grade materials, they craft both interior and exterior upholstery that is as durable as it is beautiful. It’s no surprise that their expertise in marine upholstery makes them a sought-after resource for boat owners in the area.

Consulting, Installation & A Passion for Perfection

Beyond fabrication, Ladies Touch offers expert consulting services to ensure that every project meets their high standards. Whether it’s fabric selection, measuring, or professional installation, they guide their clients through the entire process to achieve a flawless result.

Why We’re Proud to Partner with Ladies Touch

At Casper Hill, we are always looking to collaborate with upholstery professionals who share our commitment to excellence. Ladies Touch of Newport embodies everything we value—expert craftsmanship, a deep understanding of materials, and an unwavering dedication to quality.
