01

What Is Woven Leather?

Woven leather is made by cutting material into strips and interlacing them, in the same way a textile is woven. The result is a single sheet with a visible, textured pattern across its surface. It can be produced from one material or from two materials woven together.

02

Woven Nappa

This version is woven entirely from Nappa leather. Nappa leather has a soft hand and a smooth finish. In a weave, each strip keeps that smooth surface, and the pattern is defined by the light falling across the interlaced strips.

03

Woven Alcantara

This version is woven entirely from Alcantara. Alcantara has a soft, suede-like surface and a matte appearance. In a weave, the strips create a pattern with an even, low-sheen texture.

04

Woven Nappa and Alcantara

This version interlaces Nappa strips with Alcantara strips in one weave. The two surfaces sit side by side in the pattern. You can pick a Nappa colour and an Alcantara colour to use together, so the weave can be tone-on-tone or contrasting, matched to a brand palette or coordinated with other materials in a project.
