Nubuck leather
Definition
Nubuck is a suede-like leather obtained from the outer surface of cowhide, finely buffed to achieve a velvety texture to the touch. This noble, refined material is particularly prized in the making of luxury straps for its softness and sophisticated appearance. It requires careful attention to keep its aesthetic qualities intact over time.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between nubuck and suede?
Nubuck is taken from the outer part of the hide (grain side) and is more resistant, while suede comes from the inner part (split side) and is more delicate. Both have a velvety finish, but nubuck is more durable for everyday straps.
