Leathers are not the same and that’s good!

The skins will never be identic between themselves and this characteristic is extremely positive. By presenting imperfections, marks and differences between the pieces, it denotes that they have a natural aspect, which gives it originality and all the noble properties that the material has. Therefore, leather often has no defects, but rather its own characteristics.

As a material of animal origin, leather has different characteristics between each skin, in terms of texture, color and density. And these factors bring a special touch of personality. It is evident that there are several types of leathers and finishing, which gives new attributes to the articles.

Calm down and we explain: according to Law n. 4,888, which regulates the use of the expression “leather” in Brazil for the sale of products made from the material, the use of expressions such as “synthetic leather” or “ecological leather” is prohibited.

  • Basically, the rule says that:
  • Illegitimate products cannot be sold as leather
  • Each imitation must contain a description of its composition
  • The word “leather” cannot be used or modified to designate synthetic products
  • Failure to comply with the law is a crime
