Why this name?
The name WOLLE +HIDE is taken from:
WOLLE – the ‘Olde Englishe’ spelling of wool; when wool production and the subsequent weaving and finishing process, from the 13 Century onwards, made up the countries largest export. Wool and weaving were the making of  Britain; the wealth of many of the Cotswold towns especially the Stroud Valleys and nearby ports such as Bristol were wealthy and thriving due to the Wool trade.

WOLLE in German also means wool!

HIDE – one of the oldest known materials used by man, as evidenced in archaeological finds throughout the World. Leather and skin is an enormously versatile material due to it’s incredible properties and hence, been used in a wide variety of products throughout time.

Leather is a part of the animal farming process and closely entwined with wool production.
