• Full-Grain Leather: The highest quality, untouched hide that retains its natural grain. It's incredibly durable and develops a rich patina over time.
• Semi-Aniline Leather: A full-grain leather with a light, transparent coating for uniform color while keeping a natural feel. Our Gazelle leather is a perfect example of a silky, waxy touch semi-aniline.
• Aniline Distressed Leather: Leather dyed to create a vintage look. Our Etosha leather and Daytona leather are known for their pull-up effect and rich character.
• Corrected Grain Leather: Buffed and embossed for a uniform look, offering exceptional durability for high-traffic areas. Our Santos leather is a top choice for this.

Pull-up leather is a type of aniline distressed leather treated with oils and waxes. When stretched, it lightens, creating a unique, vintage effect. This is a mark of high quality, found in our Etosha and Daytona leather ranges.

• Upholstery Leather: For furniture, and vehicle interiors.
• Leather for Bags: Ideal for handbags, backpacks, and totes.
• Leather for Accessories: Perfect for wallets, belts, and shoes.
• Leather for Etsy Sellers: A top choice for artisans and small businesses.
