Please review the specific description for any item you're interested in for its exact leather details.

We use premium, full-grain, veg-tanned Italian leather for all products except mousepads/desk pads*. Each piece of leather is unique and may exhibit a somewhat different "pattern" or texture, markings such as slight scratches or creases, and/or minor variations in color. (Color may also vary in-person from what you see on your screen.) These items are finished with a satin resin and most have burnished edges. (You can review any shop item's description and photographs for additional details.)

*Our mousepads & desk pads are made from premium, full-grain, veg-tanned English bridle leather. Bridle leather is highly durable and has a rich color. (It is water-resistant but not waterproof.) The edges are burnished for a smooth feel. If placed on a glass or other particularly slick surface, it may slide around, so you might find using a non-slip mat underneath to be necessary. Each piece of leather is unique and may have markings such as slight scratches and/or minor variations in color. (Color may also vary in-person from what you see on your screen.)

The process we use to shape our leather catchalls is called wet forming. After wetting the piece of leather, it is shaped by hand. (Because of this, there may be slight variations in the final shape.) As the leather dries, it stiffens to a firmer texture -- with only slight flexibility -- and then maintains the desired shape. We personally prefer this method for its "cleaner" look and more sturdy feel to the leather.
