leather upholstery

Animal hide covering

Leather upholstery is seating surfaces covered in leather rather than fabric—typically in vehicles or furniture.

The term emphasizes material quality and suggests luxury or durability: The sedan came with leather upholstery as a premium option.

Care involves conditioning to prevent cracking.
