We honestly love honest leather. Therefore, we are very proud and very picky when it comes to choosing our material. We handpick everything for production to ensure we only use 100% bovine, aniline, full-grain, pull-up leather.

So what does this tongue twister mean in plain language?

BOVINE simply means that we use cattle hides.

ANILINE leather is immersed in a dye bath to colour it fully with a transparent dye. Because the finish is transparent and reveals the natural markings of the leather, only the best quality hides can be used.

FULL-GRAIN refers to hides that have not been altered beyond hair removal, as opposed to corrected leather that is sanded, buffed, or snuffed. Consequently, rather than wearing out, it will develop a patina (dark, rustic-looking layer) over time. Full-grain leather retains the natural texture and markings of the original hide, making it much more authentic and good-looking.

PULL-UP describes the behaviour of leather treated with oils, waxes and dyes, in such a way that the finish becomes lighter in stretched areas. This is considered a mark of high quality.

If you were wondering leather or not we use the finest material, we hope this settles the question for you!
