Leather is a natural textile crafted from animal hide, prized for its durability, flexibility, and timeless appeal. It features a distinctive grain pattern, soft hand feel, and develops a rich patina over time. Leather combines strength with comfort, making it ideal for fashion, upholstery, and accessories.
Leather textiles are materials made from animal hides that have been processed (tanned) to create a durable,
flexible, and long-lasting surface. Unlike woven fabrics, leather is a non-woven natural textile with unique
grain patterns and strength.
The leather manufacturing process is divided into three fundamental subprocesses: preparatory stages, tanning, and crusting. A further subprocess, finishing, can be added into the leather process sequence, but not all leathers receive finishing.
Artificial leather, also called synthetic leather, is a material intended to substitute for leather in upholstery, clothing, footwear, and other uses where a leather-like finish is desired but the actual material is cost prohibitive or unsuitable due to practical or ethical concerns.

Tanned hides are animal skins that have gone through the tanning process, which chemically treats the hide to prevent decay and make it soft, durable, and flexible over time. They typically have a rich, earthy smell, a smooth to slightly textured surface, and come in a wide range of colors and finishes.

Finished leather is tanned leather that has undergone a series of mechanical
and chemical finishing processes to enhance its surface properties,
appearance, and performance for end-use applications in textile and
fashion products.
These finishing processes may include dyeing, coating, embossing, polishing, buffing, and the application of protective layers. The purpose is to improve characteristics such as color uniformity, softness, flexibility, water resistance, abrasion resistance, and overall aesthetic appeal.
In the textile industry, finished leather is used as a functional and decorative material in products like garments, footwear, upholstery, bags, and accessories, where both durability and visual quality are important.
