nubuck leather
Nubuck leather is similar to suede. It is a high-quality and elegant type of leather that impresses with its velvety, soft surface. Nubuck leather is created by sanding the top layer of smooth leather, which creates a fine, velvety structure. It is very sensitive to dirt and stains, but is valued for its luxurious look and feel.
Use:
This type of leather is often used for luxury furniture, shoes, bags and clothing. Nubuck leather offers a natural and elegant look, but requires special care to protect its delicate surface and keep it in good condition over time. With proper care, nubuck retains its beauty and remains resistant to wear and tear.
