Calfskin and cowhide

For your leather goods creations, choose calf or cowhide leather selected by Deco Cuir. We offer a collection of pieces of various sizes, colors, thicknesses, and finishes.

The advantages of calf and cowhide leather

Cowhide leather is characterized by a dense fibrous structure that gives it remarkable resistance to wear. It is therefore suitable for the manufacture of products used daily. A durable and thick material, it is one of the most used leathers in leather goods for briefcases, belts, or bags. The natural grain of full-grain cowhide leather gives it a unique and authentic character. Over time, this leather develops a patina with a luster that gives it an inimitable look.

Calf leather is distinguished by its tighter grain, its fineness, and its suppleness. Durable and resistant, it has the ability to retain its original shape. Its softness is particularly sought after for the manufacture of high-end, refined, and lightweight handbags. Its natural luster and smooth texture make creations more attractive and add sparkle to them.

Deco Cuir's ranges of calf and cowhide leather

We offer several permanent collections (Sweet 2, Granite, Club, Automobile...) including skins and pieces. These ongoing ranges allow you to reorder the shades you liked. You also have the option to purchase the color charts for these collections.

The Sweet 2 range

This collection includes premium full-grain Italian cowhide leather, available in 24 colors. The Sweet 2 range is characterized by leather with a natural grain that has undergone drum tanning. It thus benefits from through-dyeing and great suppleness.

The Granite range

The cowhides in the Granite range are available in 14 colors. This collection consists of high-quality Italian leather, resistant, not very sensitive to scratches, and with a corrected grain. Its grained texture, made with a roller, guarantees a homogeneous finish. The leathers in the Granite range have a transparent and thin semi-aniline finish that provides protection against water splashes. Thanks to drum tanning, they are particularly supple and through-dyed.

Different types of calf and cowhide leather

Unleash your creativity with the various types of leather from Deco Cuir's collections:

Smooth, grained, or fantasy leather

Available in multiple colors, smooth leather is versatile. It is suitable for leather goods, upholstery, and decoration.

Usable in the same way as smooth leather, grained leather derives its unique charm from its specific textured surface.

Original, fantasy leather is suitable for creating pouches, wallets, and handbags. Trust your taste to choose the pattern you like: snake imitation, cracked effect, chevrons, birds, silver velvet…

Automotive and upholstery leather

This leather for saddlery and upholstery is treated against humidity and UV. As it is also very resistant to scratches and scuffs, it is particularly suitable for various uses such as armchairs, sofas, car seats, desk tops... This ongoing range includes 13 shades and two types of grain: natural and smooth with an aged look.

Nubuck

Recognizable by its velvety and matte appearance, nubuck is a very delicate high-end leather that is supple and elastic. Nubuck is obtained by sanding the grain side of the leather. Cowhide nubuck is often used to make jackets, while calf nubuck is prized in leather goods.
