full-grain
Unsanded leather surface
Full-grain describes leather made from the outermost layer of animal hide, with the natural surface left intact rather than sanded or buffed.
This preserves the hide's original texture, markings, and strength, making full-grain leather the most durable and expensive grade: a full-grain leather briefcase, full-grain boots that age beautifully.
