OUR LEATHER.
We often get asked why our genuine authentic leather is so much more affordable than those of our competitors.
The answer is simple - because we source local leather in bulk supply and are able to process it at a high volume,
we are able to deliver to our client at a fraction of the price of our competitors.
We provide our clients with a certificate of authenticity on purchase,
certifying that our products are authentic, genuine leather products.
Our leather products have been manufactured either by hand- or machine stitch.
Semi Grain Aniline leather and Corrected leather is used to create our products.
The hair on hides is treated and safe for home use.
Full grain aniline leather is the purest, most natural looking leather and most sought-after.
This leather will age over time and change in colour due to weather conditions,
the natural oil in your skin, external conditions and general wear-and-tear,
showing the true character of aniline leather over time.
Scratches, marks, and flaws are not considered to be defects but rather a stamp of authenticity.
Aniline leather is not dirt resistant and should be treated with love and care.
Excessive rubbing on rough surfaces will damages and buff the leather.
