What is cowhide leather?

Cowhide leather is produced from cattle hides. The naturally dense fibre structure gives the material its strength and resistance to wear, while different tanning and finishing techniques determine its final appearance and feel.

There are several types of bovine leather, including aniline, semi-aniline and pigmented leather. Each finish has different characteristics in terms of protection, softness, grain and maintenance.

At Driessen Leder, we select leather based on quality, consistency and suitability for the intended application.

Application: upholstery may require different properties from bags or accessories.
Thickness: thicker leather generally provides more structure, while thinner qualities are often more flexible.
