And with every shade comes the natural grain, texture, and character that makes genuine leather so special.

Ever noticed how some leather changes colour when you bend or stretch it?

That’s the beauty of oil pull-up leather.

Treated with oils and waxes, this leather develops lighter tones when bent or stretched, creating natural variations in colour that give it a distinctive, lived-in appearance.

BV, or Bushveld leather, refers to good-quality hides sourced from mixed bushveld grazing areas.

Compared to Grassland hides, you’ll typically see more healed scratches and natural markings, while the hide remains suitable for a wide variety of applications.

That balance of quality, availability and versatility makes BV a popular choice for everything from upholstery and footwear to leather goods.

Every grade has its place. The key is knowing which one suits the job.

Curious whether BV leather is right for your next project? Get in touch with the African Leather & Skins team.

Black, brown and other darker shades aren’t automatically protected from fading.

Prolonged sunlight and UV exposure can still change the colour and appearance of leather over time, with the leather type and finish also playing a role.
