When choosing quality genuine leather, don’t just rely on colour or grain.
How the leather feels matter just as much. Texture, softness, and flexibility reveal key signs of authenticity and durability.
Supple leather usually signals full or top-grain quality, known for aging well.
Experienced upholsterers and designers always handle leather before buying; knowing that touch can reveal how it will wear, bend, and evolve.
Remember to regularly show your leather items some love by cleaning, conditioning and protecting them with products like the Geist range of DIY leather care kits:
