Types of leather

ONE

At James Dixon, we strive to bring our customers the best quality materials, and this easy-care leather is no exception. Sourced directly from Egypt and chrome tanned in Spain, our ONE leather is made from premium cow hides. 

The semi-aniline finish of this leather creates a natural and sophisticated look that showcases the unique characteristics of the hide while maintaining its strength and durability. Our easy-care leather is dyed through, ensuring long-lasting color that won't fade over time. The napa texture of this leather gives it a smooth, velvety feel that adds to its elegance and versatility.

One of the biggest advantages of this easy-care leather is that it requires minimal upkeep, making it perfect for our ONE collection. It's resistant to stains and spills, and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soap and water, ensuring your products always look their best. 

We're proud to feature this easy-care leather in our ONE collection, which embodies the spirit of minimalism and functionality. Our products are designed to be both beautiful and practical, and this leather perfectly captures that ethos.

The raw hides come from Denmark/Norway, and the cow half butts are vegetable-tanned, making it eco-friendly and sustainable.
