leather finish

Tanned hide surface

A leather finish is a surface treatment that gives material the appearance or texture of leather, or a final coating applied to actual leather goods.

In bookbinding and furniture, it often describes vinyl or synthetic coverings made to look like leather: The notebook has a leather finish.

On genuine leather, it refers to the protective topcoat affecting sheen and durability.
