Buffalo Leather

Full-grain strength for saddlery and harness.

Overview

Buffalo hide has a denser fibre structure than cow or goat, which is why it's been the backbone of Kanpur's saddlery trade for generations. We tan it full-grain, keeping the natural markings and strength intact for products that need to carry real, repeated load.
