Custom leather in any color, texture, and finish.

Premium hides made to your exact color, texture, sheen, softness, and thickness, or matched to a Pantone reference or physical sample.

We develop custom leather around your exact color, from our curated library, a custom mix, a Pantone reference, or your own reference sample. Then we tune grain, sheen, softness, and thickness to match the application. Before production begins, you can review a custom approval sample in person.

Specified across products, sectors, and applications.

Custom hides for automotive, marine, hospitality, aviation, fashion, accessories, furniture, wall panels, and specialty product work, with each specification tuned to how the material will be used.

A clear path from concept to production

Every custom leather project begins with the intended application. We define how the material will be used, then tune color, texture, sheen, softness, and thickness around the project before moving into sample approval and production.

  1. 1

    Define the color and character

    Choose from a curated color library, create a custom tone, enter a Pantone reference, or send us a physical sample to match. From there, refine texture, sheen, softness, and thickness to suit the application.

  2. 2

    Review instant pricing

    Once your specification is complete, the configurator provides a real-time quote based on your selected color, finish, material details, and required quantity. You get clear pricing upfront, without unnecessary back-and-forth.

  3. 3

    Order a custom physical sample

    Order a physical sample produced to your selected specification, so you can review the color, texture, finish, and hand feel in person before committing to production.

  4. 4

    Approve or refine the result

    Review the sample against your reference, design intent, and project requirements. If adjustments are needed, we can refine the specification and produce a follow-up sample before final approval.

  5. 5

    Move into production

    Once the sample is approved, the final specification is released into production. We confirm quantity by hide or square footage, coordinate lead time, and prepare the order for delivery.
