Full Grain Leather

What is full grain leather?

Full grain, as opposed to rectified grain, refers to the toughest and most resilient portion of an animal’s hide that is located just below the hair and exhibits the more authentic qualities of leather since it has not been sanded, polished, or snuffed.

The leather has more fiber strength and durability since the grain surface was left untreated before the surface coating was applied, and it will eventually acquire a patina as it ages.

This type of leather frequently has an aniline finish, which colors or dyes the leather while still allowing the original grain to show through. Unlike other varieties of leather, which are sanded down and given a heavier finish layer, this delicate finish allows the leather to continue to breathe.

How long does this leather last?

The lifespan of full grain leather is approximately five times greater than that of cotton. Full grain leather products like First Spatial Black and First Wooden Brown may last for decades with proper care and use. 

How to protect full grain leather?

The top layer of skin is covered and protected with leather protectants and sealants, which also help prevent moisture and natural oils from evaporating, keeping the skin supple. Although applying polish to leather is a matter of taste and opinion, it may provide extra protection by acting as a second line of defense against ordinary grime and grease.

How to maintain full grain?

This premium leather requires little upkeep. In fact, to prevent the accumulation of dust and filth in your bag, we recommend just cleaning it down occasionally with a towel while using one of our bags. The method of storage is the most crucial component of full grain leather maintenance. Any leather product should never be used with a hair dryer or placed next to a radiator as this might dry out the leather. Another suggestion for keeping leather supple is to keep it in an atmosphere with controlled humidity of between 40 and 50 percent so that it can keep its necessary moisture.
