Garrett Leather presents five new embossed leather collections, Cestino, Espiga, Quadro, Onda, and Tessera, celebrating artisanal craftsmanship in a digital age. Each collection reconnects users with the tangible beauty of texture, offering a tactile experience that honours tradition, intentionality, and the skill of handcraft. Inspired by natural forms and the artistry of weaving, carving, and embroidery, these patterns evoke calm, depth, and connection.

Cestino draws from handwoven baskets, featuring a versatile texture with a hand-tipped finish. Espiga offers a braided motif enhanced by a high-gloss finish, reflecting organic harmony. Quadro channels traditional textile weaves with a hand-antiqued surface. Onda mimics the gentle movement of waves, accented with pearlescent highlights that play with light and shadow. Tessera presents a tightly woven aesthetic, blending modern sensibility with timeless craftsmanship.

Each leather is semi-aniline, embossed, and combination-tanned, balancing the suppleness of chrome tannage with the firmness of vegetable tanning. This ensures embossed patterns hold their detail while the hides remain pliable for upholstery. Full-sized and center-cut hides provide large cutting areas with minimal pattern disruption.

The collections are available in twenty rich colourways inspired by natural materials, including mineral blues, earthy reds, soot blacks, grounding neutrals, and opalescent highlights. LeatherShield products, they are suitable for high-traffic areas and have achieved LBC Red List Free status and GREENGUARD Gold certification. Garrett Leather’s embossed collections combine durability, texture, and design integrity, offering a premium hand, visual interest, and a return to the analogue, tactile beauty of artisanal materials.
