Why Our Leather Costs More – and Why It's Worth It
We use vegetable-tanned, full-grain Italian leather — and that makes a big difference in quality, durability, and how your cover ages over time.
Genuine Leather vs. Full Grain Leather
Genuine leather is a misleading term — it's actually lower quality. It’s made from leftover layers of hide after the top (and strongest) layer has been removed. It's often heavily processed and doesn't last nearly as long.
Full-grain leather is the highest quality leather available. It comes from the top layer of the hide and includes all the natural grain. It’s stronger, more durable, and develops a beautiful patina over time.
Vegetable-Tanned vs. Chrome-Tanned
Vegetable-tanned leather is tanned using natural plant-based tannins, a traditional and time-intensive process. It takes several weeks but results in leather that's more eco-friendly, firm yet flexible, and ages beautifully.
Chrome-tanned leather, which is used in most mass-market goods, is processed in just a day using harsh chemicals. It’s quicker and cheaper but doesn’t last as long and often lacks character.
Why It Costs More
We source ethically made, premium Italian leather.
Every piece is hand-stitched and made to order.
Vegetable tanning and full-grain quality add cost—but they also mean your leather cover is built to last for decades, not just a few years.
