Quality
High Cutting Yields
Garrett Leather’s premium European raw materials are tanned in Italy, resulting in superior quality
products with higher cutting yields. The finished hides are carefully hung on “horses” rather than
stored in tubes to prevent wrinkles and creases from forming.
Garrett Leather’s superior, extra large hides provide higher cutting yields with minimal waste.
Selection
Half hide orders are accepted without imposing any additional cutting fees.
S
Half Hide Minimums
Over two million square feet of upholstery leather and a variety of specialty products are available
in over 600 colors.
Fiberdye® Color
Convenience
Garrett Leather’s exclusive Fiberdye® is the dyeing process that results in true color permanence.
Fiberdye® penetrates all layers of the hide, producing deep, vibrant, durable colors. Look for
Fiberdye® when purchasing quality leather.
Most products are in stock and ready for immediate shipment. Over 90% of all orders ship within
48 hours of purchase. All major credit cards are accepted.
Environmentally Friendly
Garrett leather consists of 100% organic reclaimed material that would otherwise end
up in landfills. The tanning agents used are composed of natural minerals and all surface
finishes are water-based. Most products are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified ®.
Leather is exceptionally durable, lasting up to five times longer than other fabrics, thus
reducing maintenance and replacement costs, as well as waste.
Burn Certification
Most of Garrett Leather’s colors are treated to pass industry flammability requirements during the
tanning process, at no additional charge. Certification is available upon request.

®
Flight is full grain, semi-aniline leather produced from premium
selection European bullhide. Flight has a smooth, matte surface
and durable, anti-bacterial, and water resistant finish. It is treated
during the tanning process to meet strict aviation flammability
requirements, including FAR standards, as well as the 60-second
vertical burn test. While ideal for aviation, Flight’s gorgeous appeal
and exceptional durability expands across multiple applications,
including high-traffic hospitality, corporate, and residential settings.
Garrett Glazed® is semi-aniline, full grain leather. The hides are
milled in heated drums then ironed using a special process that
imparts a smooth surface and very fine grain. The beautiful mottled
appearance highlights the style of this classic leather. The spill
resistant, high gloss finish makes Glazed a durable option for high
traffic areas.
Kenya is Garrett Leather’s shrunken nubuck. Made from the
desirable top layer of the hide, Kenya is not to be confused with
a true suede, which is made from the less desirable split (lower
layers of the hide). Kenya offers a higher cutting yield, making
it an excellent alternative to smaller split suede. Light surface
protection is applied. Kenya is recommended for low to moderate
traffic areas.
Luxianna
®
Luxianna® is full grain European bullhide, providing more density
and a stronger fiber structure than cowhide. Each hide is vacuum
dried to produce a tight grain and heat rolled to create an elegantly
smooth surface. A light, organic finish is applied, allowing the
product to wear into a beautiful, vintage look. Luxianna® is
recommended for low to moderate traffic areas, as signs of wear
will appear with use.
Mystique
®
Mystique® is created using sizable European bullhide, providing
more density and a stronger fiber structure than cowhide. A laborintensive process called “hand-tipping” is used to apply a darker
“tipped” color onto a lighter tone hide. This unique two-tone effect
will show variations in shading from hide to hide and even within a
hide. Mystique® offers excellent durability and resistance to wear.

Premium European bullhides are used in the creation of Mystique
Croco®. These large, strong hides are embossed with a crocodile
pattern prior to the hand-tipping process. Mystique Croco® is
available in both whole and half hide sizes and is suitable for all
upholstery applications.
Native is naked aniline, full grain, Italian leather. Native hides
are hand-buffed to create a mottled appearance and matte
surface. It has gorgeous depth of color and a rugged texture that
is reminiscent of the past. While signs of wear will appear with
use, Native is recommended for most upholstery applications, as
it will age beautifully and develop a rich patina over time.
Garrett Newport Club® is produced using premium selection
bullhide. These full grain hides are mineral tanned to create
softness, then re-tanned using vegetable tannins, resulting in wellrounded leather with a beautiful natural grain. Additional dyes are
hand-padded into the surface to create deep, rich colors and a
gorgeous subtle sheen. Newport Club is a luxurious option for all
upholstery applications.
Pearlessence
®
Pearlessence® is full grain, semi-aniline Italian leather with a beautiful
luster. A specially formulated finish with a pearl additive gives
the hides the metallic and pearl appearance. This combination
pearl finish provides durability and increased water resistance.
Pearlessence® is recommended for all upholstery applications.
Shagarrett
Shagarrett is Italian leather featuring a beautiful two-tone texture.
These full sized European cowhides are embossed with a stingray
pattern, with no unsightly plate lines. The dual tone appearance is
achieved with “reverse tipping,” where the darker color appears
in the valleys of the pattern rather than on the tips. Shagarrett is
suitable for all upholstery applications.

Capelli
Garrett Leather offers three categories of Capelli: natural, stenciled
and specialty. Unlike other leather products, the hair is not removed
from the hides during the tanning process. These hides are used
for rugs, wall hangings, and upholstery.
Natural
Capelli Natural represent genuine cowhide and are not dyed.
Each hide will have varying color patterns, as no two are exactly
alike. The texture, color, and pattern of the hair will be different
from hide to hide.
Torino
Torino is semi-aniline leather produced from European cowhide.
Torino has a rich hand and a welcoming texture. These full-bodied
Italian cowhides have a uniform, pronounced pebble grain that
provides consistency, durability, and superior cutting yields. Torino
has a waterproof finish and is recommended for all upholstery
applications.
Specialty
Stenciled
Vintage
Capelli Stenciled include tiger, leopard, and zebra. These
stenciled patterns are all printed on cowhide. All Capelli Natural
and Capelli Stenciled are sold in whole hides only and average
35 square feet.
Capelli Specialty are created using a variety of different finishing
techniques including embossing, metallic prints, rolling, and laser
cutting.
Wovens
Garrett Vintage® is full grain, pure aniline, Italian leather. Oils
and waxes are used to create a “worn” look and light “pull-up”
effect. Additional dyes are hand-padded on the surface to add a
beautiful mottled effect and to add depth to the final appearance.
Natural marks and variations in each hide represent the true
character of leather. Heat and pressure are used to create the final
gorgeous sheen.
Garrett Wovens® are created using full grain European cowhide.
Garrett Wovens® are 100% vegetable tanned, providing firm
leather that gives the weave a structural integrity that is not
possible with standard, soft upholstery leather. Hand staining
with transparent dyes gives the leather a depth of color that is
unattainable with typical semi-aniline leather finishes. The leather
is then cut into strips, which are edge dyed with a darker color to
define and accentuate the final patterns.
Sheepskin
The strips are weaved into various patterns, including all leather
or leather and fabric combinations. Each pattern is backed with
cotton fabric for extra stability. Over time, these products will age
gracefully and develop a rich patina.
Sheepskin is used primarily for pilot seats in aircraft, automotive
seats, and as throw rugs in finer residences. The fleece on Garrett
Leather’s standard Sheepskin is straight, also called ironed,
unclipped, with a length of approximately ¾”. Many colors are
available in natural curly fleece as well. Sheepskin average nine
square feet.
All Garrett Wovens® are sold in half-yard increments on a 54”
wide roll, providing for the industry’s widest cutting allowance for
applications such as wall coverings.
Tubular Wovens
Garrett Tubular Wovens® are produced from full grain Italian
cowhide. The leather is weaved together into a tube shaped roll,
without any seams. Garrett Tubular Wovens® simply slide over any
tube shaped fixture such as curtain rods, bedposts, lampposts,
door pulls, or hand railings.
Garrett Tubular Wovens® are sold in half-yard increments with a
one-yard minimum. Three sizes are available; small has an inside
diameter of 1”, medium has an inside diameter of 1 3⁄8”, and large
has an inside diameter of 1 7⁄8”.
