Skins Golf: A UK Golf Brand Born to Break the Mold
How an Independent UK-Based Brand is Redefining Golf Gear with Style and Substance
Golf has always been a sport of tradition. But sometimes, tradition needs a little shake-up.
That’s exactly what we set out to do when we launched Skins Golf in early 2022. Based in London, we’re an independent UK golf brand built on a simple idea: the game’s most-used accessories—starting with golf gloves—deserved better.
They deserved personality. They deserved art. And most importantly, they deserved to perform without compromise.
Fast forward to today, and Skins Golf is proud to be turning heads across the UK (and beyond), with a growing community of players who are done settling for the boring, the bland, and the beige.
This is our story—and why we’ll always champion individuality, bold design, and authenticity on and off the course.
A Frustration That Sparked a Movement
Every brand starts with a question. Ours was this:
Why are golf gloves still so boring?
For decades, the industry had been pumping out the same gloves: plain white, maybe black, no personality, and often built to fall apart in a few rounds. Function over form. Performance over personality. That was the standard.
So we challenged it.
We launched Skins Golf with a singular focus: reimagine the golf glove. What if we could create a glove that performed at the highest level—but looked unlike anything else on the course?
Designed to Perform. Built to Be Seen.
We started with materials. We didn’t cut corners.
Every Skins glove is crafted from AAA premium Cabretta leather—the same ultra-soft, breathable, and durable leather used by the world’s top players. It offers a second-skin fit and elite-level grip, round after round.
But what sets us apart is what we layer on top of that performance:
🎨 Bold designs
🖌️ Artist-led visuals
🌈 Unexpected colour combinations
🧵 Attention to detail you can feel
In a sea of sameness, our gloves are built to be a statement. They reflect the personality of the player wearing them. Whether you’re a single-digit index or just finding your swing, Skins Golf lets you show up as you—and play with confidence.
Expanding Our Vision: Golf Accessories, Reimagined
After shaking up the glove game, we turned our attention to the rest of your gear.
Golf towels, headcovers, ball markers—essential items, but often an afterthought. We saw the same pattern repeating: useful, yes. But uninspired.
So we applied the Skins Golf philosophy:
Form + Function + Identity
We created a line of accessories that aren’t just useful—they’re artful. From graphic-printed towels to magnetic markers that start conversations, we’ve crafted pieces that match your game and your personality.
And because we’re an independent UK golf brand, we don’t answer to a corporate product board. We answer to you—the players looking for something different.
Authenticity at Our Core
What makes Skins truly different?
We're not a faceless multinational. We’re a UK golf brand based right in the heart of London. Every design we release is created in collaboration with independent artists, illustrators, and creators who share our love for the game—but refuse to accept its creative limitations.
This isn’t fast fashion. It’s not just “drops for the algorithm.” It’s meaningful design rooted in golf’s heritage, yet pushing its style forward.
Because when we say authentic, we mean it:
-
We test every product ourselves.
-
We partner only with creatives who care about craft.
-
We listen to our growing community of players, designers, and fans.
-
We focus on limited-run collections, not mass-market repetition.
This is golf gear that feels different—because it is different.
Designed for Everywhere.
We ship worldwide and have a physical presence in over 12 countries.
As a UK golf brand, we know the unique challenges British golfers face—unpredictable weather, damp mornings, coastal wind, and summer sunshine that turns to rain halfway through your round.
That’s why our products are tested for UK conditions:
-
Our leather golf gloves retain their grip in moisture and heat.
-
Our golf towels dry fast and hold up in wet or muddy rounds.
-
Our accessories are built to travel well, wear well, and perform anywhere.
We design these in London but we create for the world—but with a deep respect for UK golf culture, from club competitions to casual twilight rounds.
For Golfers Who Refuse to Blend In
Let’s be honest—golf is changing.
Today’s player is younger, bolder, and more connected. They care about aesthetics. They care about how things are made, who is behind them, and what it all stands for.
At Skins Golf, we don’t just welcome that mindset—we build for it.
Our customers are:
-
Creatives and professionals who want gear that reflects their lifestyle
-
Competitive players who demand quality but love colour
-
Golfers who see every round as a way to express their identity
We’re not here to replace tradition—we’re here to evolve it. We believe you can love the game’s roots and still bring your own swagger to the fairway.
Not Just a Brand. A Community.
What started as a glove idea has grown into a movement—powered by players like you.
When you wear Skins Golf gear, you’re not just wearing a product. You’re joining a community that celebrates creativity, individuality, and great golf.
We’re proud to support:
-
Local UK golf events and indie tournaments
-
Emerging UK artists and creatives
-
Grassroots players with big game energy
As we grow, we remain committed to staying independent, purpose-driven, and rooted in the UK’s rich golfing culture.

More design. More story. More performance. More you.
