Leather determination guide

What type of leather do I have?

Are you unsure what type of leather your upholstered furniture is made of? You are not alone in this, because unfortunately leather descriptions or designations from manufacturers or furniture stores are often inadequate or obfuscated. Here we give you useful tips on how you can determine the type of leather yourself and with certainty.

# 1

You can be absolutely sure by searching using the exact manufacturer's designation. We have listed all the most common types of leather from upholstered furniture manufacturers in our database. Search for your manufacturer in the selection field and determine the exact leather designation, including the color. You will then be shown the appropriate cleaning and care products specially designed for this type of leather.

Please make a more detailed selection so that we can recommend the right products for you.
