What is full grain leather?

The grain is the structure of the dermis where the hairs are implanted, so it is the top layer of the animal's skin. It is the skin area with the highest fibre density. Full grain leather is a leather that has kept its upper surface intact. It retains the natural grain and all the characteristics of the hide (suppleness, hold, strength), including roughness such as natural wrinkles, small scars or healed scratches.

What are the advantages of full grain leather?

The dense fibres make full grain leather more resistant and durable. Because the natural pores of the skin are intact, full grain leather is more breathable than other lower layers of the skin. The natural grain and roughness of full grain leather makes each product unique. Full grain leather will, over time, develop a unique, even patina.
