About Our Leather

At Ceylon Leather Crafts, we use only naturally sourced full-grain and top-grain leather, ensuring superior quality, durability, and authenticity. Unlike mass-produced synthetic or bonded leather, our products are made from real leather that ages beautifully, developing a unique patina over time.

We take pride in using full-grain leather, which retains all natural grain patterns, including tick marks and scars, making it the most valuable and durable form of leather. These natural imperfections are a hallmark of high-quality leather, telling the story of its origin and ensuring that each piece is truly unique.

As a natural material, leather absorbs dye differently, meaning each product may have slight color variations. This adds to the uniqueness and character of our handcrafted leather goods.

We Do Not Use Genuine Leather

Many brands use genuine leather, a misleading term for cheap, low-quality leather made from leftover scraps bonded together with adhesives. Genuine leather lacks durability, feels artificial, and deteriorates quickly. At Ceylon Leather Crafts, we believe in quality and craftsmanship, which is why we never use genuine leather or synthetic alternatives.

Understanding Leather Grades

• ✔ Full-Grain Leather – The highest quality leather, retaining all-natural grain, marks, and scars. It is the most durable, ages beautifully, and develops a rich patina over time.
• ✔ Top-Grain Leather – A slightly refined version of full-grain leather, with the surface buffed to remove imperfections. It is still high-quality, durable, and luxurious.
• ❌ Genuine Leather – A low-quality leather made from scraps and bonded together with adhesives. It lacks durability, feels artificial, and does not last long.

Choose authenticity. Choose Ceylon Leather Crafts.
