Technical Properties

Thickness & Weight

Standard thickness ranges from 2.5mm to 5mm. Weight varies by hide size and tanning process. Heavier leathers provide more structure, while lighter weights offer flexibility.

Color & Finish

Natural tones range from light tan to deep brown. Surface finishes include smooth, pebbled, and textured grains. Colors may vary slightly between batches due to natural material variations.

Aging Behavior

Leather develops patina through use, exposure to light, and natural oils. Color deepens, surface softens, and unique markings emerge. This aging process adds character and value over time.

Care Requirements

Regular conditioning maintains suppleness and appearance. Avoid excessive moisture and direct heat. Proper care extends product lifespan and enhances natural patina development.
