Full Grain and Natural Leather
Natural leather has a tactile quality and depth that synthetic upholstery materials cannot fully reproduce.
Garrett Leather works with high-quality European hides selected for appearance, performance and consistency. Depending on the collection, finishes may range from highly natural aniline leather to more protected semi-aniline and performance constructions.
Full-grain leather retains the natural structure of the hide and can reveal subtle markings that make each piece individual.
Rather than treating those characteristics as defects, many designers value them as part of the authenticity and beauty of genuine leather.
Garrett Leather Colors
Color is one of Garrett Leather's major strengths.
The collection includes a broad range of neutrals, browns, tans, grays and blacks as well as sophisticated blues, greens, reds and specialty colors.
Some collections use Garrett Leather's FiberDye® process, in which transparent dyes penetrate through the thickness of the hide to create deep, durable color while preserving natural surface characteristics.

This breadth makes Garrett Leather useful for projects ranging from restrained contemporary rooms to interiors requiring a highly specific or expressive color.
LeatherShield Performance Leather
Garrett Leather's LeatherShield classification identifies selected leathers developed for demanding, high-traffic environments.
LeatherShield products receive specialized treatments during the tanning process that can provide resistance to flame, water, stains and UV exposure, along with antibacterial protection.
These characteristics can make selected Garrett Leather collections particularly useful in:
Hotels and restaurants
Commercial seating
High-use residential furniture
Aircraft interiors
Yachts
Transportation interiors
Hospitality environments
Performance varies by collection, so specifications should always be reviewed for the exact leather selected.
Garrett Leather for Aviation Interiors
Aviation is one of Garrett Leather's most important specialty markets.
Collections such as Avion were developed specifically for aircraft interiors and combine luxury appearance with technical performance.
Avion is an Italian leather with a consistent grain and durable finish. Garrett Leather flameproofs each color during the tanning process to meet FAA requirements, and the collection also carries LeatherShield performance characteristics.
Other Garrett collections, including Flight, bring smooth full-grain leather and a refined matte finish to both aviation and other upholstery applications.
These leathers are particularly useful for private aviation interiors where weight, durability, color consistency and luxury appearance are all critical considerations.
Garrett Leather for Yacht and Marine Interiors
Garrett Leather also works extensively in yacht and marine design.
Selected leather collections meet marine-related performance standards and can be specified for applications such as seating, headboards, wall panels and custom furnishings.
For example, Garrett's Avion leather has been tested to International Maritime Organization upholstery standards in addition to its aviation and commercial performance testing.
Marine projects can present unique requirements involving humidity, sunlight, cleaning and fire performance, so the technical specifications of the selected leather should always be confirmed before ordering.
Hospitality and Commercial Leather
Garrett Leather is also well suited to luxury hotels, restaurants, offices, clubs and other contract interiors.
Leather provides a distinctive combination of comfort, longevity and visual character that can work especially well on banquettes, lounge seating, desk chairs, headboards and architectural panels.
Selected Garrett Leather products are developed specifically to withstand high traffic and repeated use while maintaining a refined appearance.
The collection allows designers to choose between highly uniform, performance-driven surfaces and more natural finishes depending on the needs of the project.
Residential Leather Upholstery
Garrett Leather is equally appropriate for high-end residential interiors.
Leather can bring warmth and richness to furniture while becoming more visually interesting as it ages.
Potential residential applications include:
Custom sofas
Library chairs
Dining seating
Upholstered beds
Home-office furniture
Ottomans
Built-in banquettes
Leather wall panels
For homes requiring additional stain, water or abrasion resistance, Garrett Leather's performance collections provide options beyond traditional natural-finish leather.
Aniline and Semi-Aniline Leather
Understanding leather finish is important when specifying upholstery.
Aniline leather typically receives minimal surface coating, allowing more of the hide's natural markings and texture to remain visible. It is prized for softness, depth and authenticity.
Semi-aniline leather generally receives a light protective finish that provides greater consistency and resistance to everyday use while retaining much of the natural feel of the hide.
Garrett Leather offers collections across these and other finishing categories, allowing the material to be selected according to the balance of appearance and performance required by the project.
Mira Olive-Tanned Leather
Garrett Leather has also invested in alternative tanning technologies.
The Mira collection was the company's first pure-aniline leather produced using an olive tanning process.
Olive tanning uses plant-based tannins made from discarded olive leaves, branches and other waste from olive harvesting, reducing reliance on conventional mined tanning chemicals and requiring less water.
This approach allows Garrett Leather to combine natural aniline character with a more environmentally considered manufacturing process.
Cielo and Lower-Impact Leather Production
Garrett Leather continued its olive-tanning program with the Cielo collection.
For Cielo, Garrett Leather worked with a European climate-offset consultant to retire verified emissions-reduction credits associated with the collection's production.
These initiatives are part of the company's broader effort to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the performance and tactile qualities expected of premium upholstery leather.
Sustainability at Garrett Leather
Sustainability is a major part of Garrett Leather's current brand positioning.
The company sources hides that are byproducts of the meat industry, transforming material that might otherwise become waste into durable interior products. Garrett Leather also states that its European tanning partners use processes designed to maximize dye absorption and reduce water impact.
At its Buffalo headquarters, the company has invested in solar energy and carbon-reduction initiatives connected with shipping and distribution.

GREENGUARD Gold and Material Transparency
Garrett Leather has also pursued third-party certifications and material-transparency programs.
The company states that most of its products have achieved GREENGUARD Gold certification, helping meet stringent standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air.
Many products have also been disclosed through Declare, with numerous collections achieving Living Building Challenge Red List Free status.
Garrett Leather additionally publishes sustainability information covering REACH compliance, Leather Working Group ratings and Environmental Product Declarations for selected products.

Leather as a Natural Material
Garrett Leather emphasizes the natural and durable qualities of genuine leather.
The company notes that its hides are derived from the meat industry's existing supply chain rather than cattle raised specifically for leather production.
Leather's dense natural fiber structure gives it both flexibility and strength, allowing quality upholstery leather to withstand years of use while developing character over time.
This durability is one of the reasons leather remains an important material for both luxury residential furniture and demanding commercial applications.
