Leather Types and Grades

The quality of leather goods begins with the hide. Our manufacturers work with tanneries supplying a full range of leather grades, allowing us to match the material specification precisely to your product requirements and target price point.

• Full-grain leather — the finest grade, retains natural surface, develops patina over time
• Top-grain leather — sanded surface, more uniform appearance, most widely used
• Corrected-grain leather — uniform finish, cost-effective for high-volume production
• Nubuck — buffed full-grain leather with a velvet-like surface texture
• Suede — split leather with soft nap finish, popular for glove linings and fashion
• Genuine leather — bonded and processed, entry-level price point
• Exotic alternatives — PU vegan leather available for animal-free ranges

Tanning and Chemical Compliance

European import regulations around leather goods are among the strictest in the world.
