Leaf Leather FAQs

How long does Leaf Leather Last?

Leaf leather is an incredibly durable and tough material. It ages beautifully and softens over time. As with anything, as long as you look after your Leaf Leather products, it will last for years.

How is it made?

The process of making these beautiful products starts with collecting fallen leaves from sustainably harvested Teak forests.

They are then soaked in water, dyed and then steamed to make it flexible. After which the leaves are arranged flat together, compressed and bonded onto non-woven fabric.

Finally a translucent, thin layer made from non-toxic film is applied, sealing the leaves, giving it durability, longevity & water-resistance.  

From here, depending on the product, the leaf layer is mended with
cotton fabric to provide a soft interior backing and structure, ready to
be sewn into a variety of products.

How do I care for it?

Leaf Leather doesn't need any special cleaning products or conditioning. All you need to do is just give it a wipe with a soft, damp cloth to keep it looking great.
