designers provides valuable feedback and is an added dimension in our ongoing commitment to produce the “Rolls Royce” of leather couches. Our philosophy is to use only the best leather available to us and nothing less. This means we will exclusively use full-grain leathers, with all the natural marks and blemishes of the animal. This will ensure a life time on your leather without the “cracking” or “peeling” associated with heavily processed leathers. Most leathers undergo a complex treatment processes in order to create numerous products. This will result in weaker leather that will not wear as well. Full-grain leather is the toughest and most durable. Choose from a wide range of leathers including bovine, kudu, gemsbok, eeland and ostrich leathers. We will do our upmost to source any exotic leathers from the tanneries that supply us.
