Material Nubuck LeatherExplore the material

Nubuck leather is prized for its soft, velvety surface and refined matte finish. Its fine nap moves gently with touch, creating subtle shifts between lighter and darker tones and giving the leather rich visual depth. This distinctive texture is created by finely buffing the grain side of the hide.

  • Soft, velvety texture — smooth and tactile to the touch
  • Refined matte finish — understated rather than glossy
  • Rich tonal depth — the nap creates subtle light and dark variation
  • Naturally individual — slight differences in texture and tone give each piece character

Nubuck Leather

Nubuck Leather in Bottle Green

Nubuck leather is known for its soft, velvety feel, refined matte finish and rich depth of colour. Its fine nap responds naturally to touch, moving in different directions and reflecting light in subtle ways. This creates gentle shifts between lighter and darker tones, giving each piece a tactile, characterful appearance.

The distinctive surface is created by carefully buffing the grain side of the hide. This raises a layer of fine fibres while retaining some of the natural character of the leather beneath. The result is a smooth, suede-like texture with a more refined and substantial feel.

Because the surface is lightly finished rather than heavily coated, nubuck can display small variations in texture, shade and nap. These differences are part of the material’s natural appeal rather than faults. With appropriate care and occasional gentle brushing, the surface can retain its soft texture and understated appearance over time.

How to look after your case

How to care for Nubuck leather

Nubuck leather has a soft, finely buffed surface that benefits from gentle, regular care. Its distinctive nap can naturally change direction with handling, so light brushing is often all that is needed to keep the surface looking even and feeling soft.

Everyday care Remove dust and light surface dirt with a clean nubuck or suede brush, using gentle strokes to lift the nap. For small marks, a specialist nubuck cleaning block or eraser can be used carefully on the affected area.

If the leather becomes wet Blot away excess moisture with a clean, absorbent cloth without rubbing. Allow the leather to dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators, hairdryers and direct heat. Once completely dry, gently brush the surface to restore the nap.

Protection A protector specifically designed for nubuck or suede can help reduce the risk of moisture and staining. Apply sparingly and always test on a discreet area first, as treatments may slightly alter the colour or appearance.

What to avoid Avoid soaking the leather, aggressive rubbing, alcohol wipes, household cleaners and harsh chemicals. Do not use conventional leather creams, waxes, oils or polishes, as these can darken the leather and flatten its characteristic velvety nap.

Good to know Subtle changes in shade as the nap moves are a natural feature of Nubuck leather. Gentle brushing can help even the surface, while small variations in texture and tone contribute to the individual character of each piece.
