Le Prevo (http://www.leprevo.co.uk/index.html) is good from the looks of things. I use The Identity Store (http://www.pearcetandy.com/store/index.htm), imprters of Pearce Tandy leather, a lot.

As for techniques, have a look at this site Kingsmere Crafts (http://www.kingsmerecrafts.btinternet .co.uk/index.html) They have a huge selection of pages on everything from tools and leather types to tutorials.
