So what is raw leather?  Raw leather or unfinished
leather is often referred to as natural leather. The reason for this is the

retain its lovely deep and rich colour, it is also warmer to touch. It is more soft
and supple to feel. So many people love the natural markings and scratches that
is comes with and the normal markings of everyday wear and tear. However,
because the leather has not had the finishing coat of pigment resin. It is very
absorbent and susceptible to staining. Raw leather does age beautifully and
over time it will have a subtle honey patina effect, this occurs through the
absorption of natural body oils.
