Leather is a natural product and each animal has its own physical characteristics. So none of the hides are identical. Read the product description to learn whether the leather suits your application in terms of size, thickness, skin structure, irregularities and external influences.

Full Grain | Highest leather quality from the top of the hide. Soft, durable and strong.

Characteristics
Tanning method
Tanning method
Processing animal skins into leather. It also determines the appearance.

Chrome tanning | Most common. Provides deep colours, soft and durable leather. Often faster and cheaper than vegetable tanning.

Chrome-free tanning | Chrome has been replaced by other, non-heavy metals or synthetic substances.

Semi-vegetable tanning | A combination of vegetable tanning with other tanning methods, such as chrome or synthetics.

Vegetable tanning | Traditional method with natural substances. This leather is often slightly more rigid and more sensitive to sunlight.

Firmness (1-5)
Firmness (1-5)
Degree of flexibility of the leather. We apply a scaling from 1 to 5: flexible (1), average (3) and firm (5).

Keep in mind that the thickness of the leather also affects the firmness. A leather collection with a thickness of 1mm and a firmness value of 3, might feel more flexible than another leather collection that is thicker and also has a firmness value of 3.

Gloss (1-5)
Gloss (1-5)
The degree of light reflection on the leather. We apply a scaling from 1 to 5: matte (1), silk gloss (3) and high gloss (5).

Application
Application
There are no fixed rules about which leather you can use for which application. The leather worker decides which properties of a collection matches the needs and the application. However, there are a few general things to keep in mind: For example, leather that is especially suitable for shoes can stain. This is not acceptable for bags or furniture. In addition, it is important for the linings of clothing and shoes that leather breathes. Leather for furniture often has extra layers of paint to protect against scratches, for example. We try to inform designers as best as we possibly can about the properties of a collection in order to make the right choice. Are you not sure about an application? Review the specifications, or contact us.

Each hide is unique. The stated sizes therefore indicate the total surface and not the exact length and width measurements (if you order a quarter skin of 100x90 cm, it might also be 110x81 cm). The panel size is an exact size. Also consider cutting loss when choosing the right size.

Review the collection size chart to learn what a panel, coupon, quarter hide, half hide and whole hide look like.
Panel (30 x 40 cm)
Half hide (approximately 45 x 90 cm)
Whole hide (approximately 90 x 90 cm)
Thickness
Thickness
Leather is a natural product. The thickness can therefore slightly differ per hide and batch. The stated thickness of a leather collection always has a margin of 0.2 mm. If you order a hide with a thickness of 0.6 - 0.8 mm, then your hide has a thickness between 0.6 and 0.8 mm.
1.2 - 1.4 mm

What to expect

Quality
We select our hides with great care and try to give the most accurate representation of the leather. Keep in mind that leather is a natural product and can therefore contain natural imperfections.

Colors
Colors on a computer screen may look slightly different in real life. We therefore always recommend ordering a color chart of the collection first. In addition, leather from the same collection may show minor color differences per batch. Some types of leather are also (more) sensitive to external influences. Therefore, always carefully read about the specific properties of the selected leather.

Applications
Since you are the designer we leave creative choices up to you. On our webshop we will advise you as best as possible, but the correct choice depends on your own wishes and the application of the leather. Therefore, always check the specifications carefully. Are you not sure whether a leather collection is suitable for your project? We are happy to tell you more about the specific properties in order to make the best choice.

Sizes
View by collection the size chart of the skin you order. For example, half a hide of calfskin has a different size than half a cowhide. Because every skin is also unique, the stated sizes indicate the total surface that you will receive. You will therefore not receive a square piece of leather with the exact length and width measurements (an example: if you order a Quarter hide of 100x90 cm, it can also be 110x81 cm). Also allow for some cutting loss when selecting the right size for your project.
