Imperial Leather Original Soap

Imperial Leather is a classic British brand with a rich history dating back to 1768, when a Russian nobleman commissioned a fragrance from a London perfumer. The soap as we know it today was launched in 1930 (widely popularized in 1938) by Cussons Sons & Co. It is famous for its distinctive long-lasting fragrance and the ivory-colored bar that features a characteristic metallic-style label in the center.

The brand is currently owned by PZ Cussons, a major British consumer goods company. While the brand has deep British roots and its headquarters remain in Manchester, UK, its manufacturing is distributed globally to serve various international markets. Production facilities have historically been located in the United Kingdom, Thailand, Indonesia, and Nigeria, among others. In 2026, the brand remains a flagship of the PZ Cussons portfolio, continuing to emphasize its heritage through updated packaging and identity.
