leather texture

Cowhide surface feel

Leather texture refers to the distinctive surface quality of leather—slightly grainy, supple, and often showing natural variations like pores or creases.

The term extends to materials or finishes that imitate this look and feel: a wallet with leather texture, leather texture wallpaper.

In design and digital contexts, it describes visual patterns meant to evoke leather's tactile character.
