Gramado is a beautiful and distinctive leather made from vegetable-tanned cowhide with an interesting surface texture and a rustic, natural appearance.

The leather features a lively, irregular pattern with fine wrinkles, folds and natural variations that create beautiful colour variations across the surface and give the leather plenty of character.

The surface texture and finish vary between the different colours. Some variants have a soft, matt and slightly rough surface, while others are smoother with a subtle waxed appearance.

Colours and surfaces

• Black: Has a soft, matt and slightly rough surface with a fine texture that gives the leather an almost velvety feel. The colour also has a distinct greenish undertone, which can be particularly noticeable depending on the lighting.

• Dark brown: Has a smoother surface with a slightly waxed appearance that enhances the leather's natural texture and creates beautiful colour variations.

• Brown: Has a soft and slightly rough surface with a fine, matt texture reminiscent of nubuck, combined with a subtle waxed appearance.

The double shoulders are not trimmed along the edges and therefore have a more irregular shape than traditional double shoulders. This is because the leather pieces also include part of the belly, which is normally trimmed off. The irregular shape can make it slightly more difficult to make full use of the leather.
