Terminology for leather types & finishes, and what they mean:

Baghide: In this case, we use the term ‘Baghide’ to describe leathers that are thinner and suitable for most soft bags, like Weekenders and Rucksacks. They vary in texture, finish, and colour.

Bridle: In this case, we use the term ‘Bridle’ to refer to thicker equestrian-style leather with a more matte finish (as opposed to ‘Harness’ leathers). These are suitable for hard bags, like briefcases and folios.

Harness: Like with Bridle leather, we use the term ‘Harness’ to describe thicker equestrian-style leather with a more gloss finish. These leathers can be buffed to a high shine, and are suitable for hard bags, like briefcases and folios.

Tumbled: This describes a leather that has been put into a large drum after tanning, and spun around to loosen the grain. It has a more pronounced grain and is generally softer than equivalent non-tumbled leathers.

Pull-Up: This describes a leather with a two-tone effect that is achieved by using a waxy topcoat of a certain colour covering a different, base colour. This means that when the leather is bent or pulled, the bottom colour shows through and gives an antique look.

Pebble Grain: Similar to tumbled grain, pebble grain is a slightly different grain structure that looks more like gooseflesh.

Vachetta: This is a way to finish leather, meaning that the hide has had little or no color or finish applied. Due to this, this leather will patina very quickly and distinctly, turning darker and darker and picking up character in a unique, interesting way.

Suede: Suede can refer to a few things: in some cases, it’s a leather that has had the grain layer removed or split away, leaving the looser structure. In other cases, it can mean the smooth grain layer has been sanded heavily, causing it to take on the appearance of suede. It can also refer to when the back side of the leather is used on the outside of the product (in other words, instead of having the smooth grain side used on the outside of a bag, the leather is flipped and the back side faces out).
