Botanical leather
dyed with plants and trees.
Botanical leather is a 100% plant-derived, plant-dyed leather. The color of the dyed leather varies depending on the season and the length of time that it is dyed, meaning every pattern and color is completely unique. By using natural materials, the leather not only has a gentle dyed finish, but also a texture and color that gradually matures over time.
Stitch-free leather to show the material at its best
The natural feel of the material is further enhanced by its lack of stitching, allowing the soft color and texture of botanical leather to be appreciated in its most natural form.
