Choosing a leather
Leather is not a surface. It is a memory waiting.
Leather is not a surface. It is a memory waiting.
Choosing a leather is choosing a future — that of a patina, a softening, a deepening.
We travel through tanneries. We touch. We fold. We look at the grain against the light.
A leather too young will not patina. A leather too old will break.
The right leather is one that accepts time without surrendering.
