Natural Grain Leathers are cut from the finest upholstery grade skins available in Australia. Natural Grain means that the texture of the hide is natural, rich and full bodied. The ‘imperfect’ pattern of the hides prove that they are the real thing. They look, smell and feel of quality and character.

As its name implies, ‘distressed’ leathers are anything but consistent.

They are trendy and highly fashionable with many visible and distinct aberrations that give them their unique character and desirability. These characteristics appeal to a trendy - young market!

 

Special Considerations:

Product displays different levels of distress from hide to hide which is part of the nature of this material. Returns related to the high or low degree or the placement of distressed areas of the leather are not accepted under the product warranty.
We highly recommend that you advise your couples of this when they order.
