My Leather
Finding the perfect leather for godi. has been a journey that has stretched almost four years.
Our founder, Nadim, explored a number of different types of leathers from Turkish lambskin to Italian calf skin. We then made pieces from Vegetable Tanned leather and Mixed Medium tanning processes. Nothing seemed to fit the ideal leather that we wanted for my godi. family - something that felt buttery soft and had everlasting durability.
Several months of research, traveling and experimenting led him to come across the perfect Full Grain leather, right in their hometown in India!
"Here I learnt the art of dyeing leather in small batches and understand the intensity in tanning leathers and the benefits of the different types. " -Nadim
So why did wechoose Full Grain Cow Leather and what does it mean?
What is Full Grain Leather?
We've often been asked if Full Grain Leather means it is made from some sort of Grain? The short and long answer is no.
Full grain leather is the top tier of leather, known for its luxurious quality. It is void of imperfections making it the highest grade and perhaps one of the most sought after leathers, as perfect hides are difficult to find.
This leather type is the most durable part of the hide, just under the hair surface.
My leather is not corrected or buffed down, allowing many of the leathers natural characteristics to be seen. This also means that the leather ages absolutely beautifully.
It is incredibly water-resistant due to the surface grains being tight and dense.
I would love for you to feel my leather pieces in person to see for yourself. Please see my upcoming events to find where you can visit my creations next.
