# What are the natural characteristics of top-grain leather?

## The beauty, texture, and natural variations of premium leather.

 

- Top-grain leather has been finished to highlight, rather than hide, natural markings, giving it a rich color and feel.
- Sourced from one of the oldest family-owned tanneries in Italy’s Bassano del Grappa, heirloom leather is salvaged and processed from upcycled hides featuring **abundant natural markings**, **scars**, and **color variations.** The result? Beautifully supple, buttery, soft hides with an unmatched depth of color and richness and an authentic lived-in look.
- Natural imperfections can darken or lighten, depending on the color, creating unique movement and character in each individual hide.
