Understanding Leather Grades: A Quality Guide
A Guide to Leather Grades
Not all leather is created equal. Understanding the different grades can help you make informed decisions.
Full Grain Leather
The highest quality leather, using the entire grain of the hide. It develops a beautiful patina over time.
Top Grain Leather
The second highest quality, where the top layer is sanded to remove imperfections.
Genuine Leather
Often a marketing term for lower quality split leather.
At Lyra, we exclusively use Full Grain Leather for maximum durability and beauty.
