Leather is a natural product so it’s important to bear this in mind when working with it. Leather wears in rather than wearing out. This naturalness gives leather its beauty and unique character that distinguishes it from synthetic alternatives including vegan leather. These variations can be classed as the hallmarks of fine leather. Leather may fade over time, (degree dependant on leather range/type) and it will age over time. If you are at all unsure of suitability, please get in touch with our sales team or read more about the natural characteristics of leather.
