Bookbinding leather for upholstery.
Imagine, anyone can sit in an upholstered chair and feel intellectual because they are sitting in Bookbinding leather. The story unfolds.
The concept is unique. A special dyed vegetable crust, a shade slightly lighter than the finished color, and, brings the grain to a dramatic peak. Onto this is our special glazing powder which enables us to polish the grain and the dyed color altogether. But know that these are crushed, crushed, crushed hides of ultra quality.
The colors are all new; keep your mind an open book.
