Leather is a durable and flexible material created by tanning animal rawhide and skins. The most common raw material is cattle hide. It can be produced at manufacturing scales ranging from artisan to modern industrial scale.
Leather is used to make a variety of articles such as furniture, footwear, automobile seats etc. It is produced in a wide variety of types and styles and decorated by a wide range of techniques. At Fezmo we have two breeds of leather “Cow & Buffalo”.
We don’t use sheep leather as those are not recommended for furniture seating. The seating and feel of cow leather will be much softer than compared to Buffalo which are very hard comparatively. We at Fezmo show the whole hide of leather once the customer selects the colour in order to make you understand the difference between real and fake leather in and around the market.
At Fezmo we provide you with the following grades:
- Top-grain leather includes the outer layer of the hide, known as the grain, which features finer, more densely packed fibers, resulting in strength and durability. Depending on thickness, it may also contain some of the more fibrous under layer, known as the corium. Types of top-grain leather include:
- Full-grain leather contains the entire grain layer, without any removal of the surface. Rather than wearing out, it develops a patina during its useful lifetime. It is usually considered the highest quality leather. Furniture and footwear are often made from full-grain leather. Full-grain leather is typically finished with a soluble aniline dye. Russia leather is a form of full-grain leather.
- Corrected grain leather has the surface subjected to finishing treatments to create a more uniform appearance. This usually involves buffing or sanding away flaws in the grain, then dyeing and embossing the surface.
- Nubuck is top-grain leather that has been sanded or buffed on the grain side to give a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface.
The maintenance part of leather is almost very easy, just normal cleaning with dry cloth once a week makes it look and neat. If anything falls on your leather couch don’t use any harsh chemicals that will damage your top leather skin, just clean it with a normal wet cloth or sponge immediately. If the case is worst you could contact Fezmo customer care we will send assistance immediately. You no need to worry of any knife cut or anything as leathers are strong and durable. Another thing is “pen marks”, if it’s a beautiful white chesterfield leather sofa and has a blue pen mark on the side it will spoil the whole look. You sure don’t want that to happen, if it happens so use a trusted upholstery cleaner once it would help. Need any further assistance in anything else feel free to contact us Fezmo Eazy Living.
