As the weather turns cooler, we've got leather upholstery on our mind – its rich texture, beautiful hand and exceptional durability can't be matched. But choosing leather the right leather for your home, perhaps for the first time, can be daunting – so we’re taking you behind the scenes of our leather assortment, how to select the best material for your home, and the ins-and-outs of owning leather furniture.

FIRST, A PRIMER IN HIGH-END LEATHER

Our leather partner, Moore & Giles, has been in the leather industry since the Great Depression. It has since become a leader in sustainable leather production with a global network of ranchers and tanneries. These leather producers - largely small and family-run - offer some of the best leathers in the industry. Their time-honored techniques lend themselves to hides that not only look and feel amazing, but also stand the test of time - after all, they’ve been producing hides the same way for centuries.
