Range

From lamb to snake – and faux leather where it is the better choice.

This is how the stock is organised: by hide, leather type, finish and thickness. The overview replaces neither a visit nor a conversation – it shows what we can talk about.

Hides

Cow

Large hides, dense fibre, hard-wearing. As sides or butts, pigmented to aniline. For furniture, bags, belts, vehicles – for everything that needs body and area.

Typical use
Furniture, bags, vehicles, contract

Size
2.0 – 2.8 m² per side

Hospitality, contract, stage, vegan

Size
Roll goods, approx. 137–140 cm wide

Leather types

Nappa: Smooth leather with the grain side out, tanned soft and supple. Aniline, semi-aniline or pigmented – depending on how much nature may remain visible and how much protection the product needs.
Suede: Buffed on the flesh side, velvety, matt, with a writing effect. For garments, linings, decoration – more sensitive to moisture and grease than smooth leather.
Patent: High-gloss coated smooth leather. For accents in fashion, costume and accessories; the coating is easy-care but hardly breathable.
Fashion leathers: Metallic, print, embossing, perforation, laser, stretch: changing articles for fashion and stage – often in small quantities, often not reorderable. If you see something, secure it.

Finishes

Besides smooth nappa and suede qualities, the stock holds processed leathers: embossed, perforated, laser-cut, printed, foiled, stretch or fabric-backed – as well as chrome-free and vegetable-tanned articles.
