At Paratus Leather Co., we take pride in offering premium leather that enhances the beauty and durability of every product we create. Here’s a closer look at the distinctive types of leather we use:

Pull-Up Leather

Pull-up leather is a high-quality, full-grain leather known for its ability to change in color and texture when pulled or stretched. During the tanning process, it’s treated with oils and waxes, which not only enhance its appearance but also provide conditioning and protection.

When pulled or stretched, the leather lightens in color in the manipulated areas, creating a unique and aged look. This effect adds depth and character, making each piece more attractive over time. The oils and waxes also contribute to its soft, supple feel while offering water resistance and protection from environmental elements. As it ages, the leather develops a rich patina, making each item truly one-of-a-kind.

Kangaroo Leather

Kangaroo leather is a premium, lightweight material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Sourced from kangaroos, it is incredibly soft and flexible, offering a unique combination of comfort and durability. Despite its lightness, kangaroo leather is highly tough and resistant to wear, making it a long-lasting choice for products that require both flexibility and strength.

This leather features a fine, smooth texture with a natural grain pattern, providing a sleek, high-quality appearance. Its thin yet robust nature makes it the perfect material for products where weight and resilience are key factors.

Crazy Horse Leather

Crazy Horse leather is a full-grain leather known for its rugged, vintage look and exceptional durability. The leather is treated with a unique blend of waxes, oils, and dyes, which gives it a distinctive distressed appearance. The name "Crazy Horse" comes from the way the leather reacts to scratches and marks — when the surface is scratched or rubbed, it lightens in color, adding to its character and creating a worn-in, one-of-a-kind aesthetic.

Despite its aged appearance, Crazy Horse leather is highly durable and develops a rich patina over time, maintaining its strength and suppleness. It is ideal for products that endure daily wear and tear. With its natural finish, no two pieces of Crazy Horse leather are identical, making each item unique.

Each leather type we use has its own special qualities, but all are designed to withstand the test of time while developing a unique, beautiful patina.

Leather - Natural imperfections

At Paratus Leather Co., we embrace the natural beauty of leather. As a raw material, each leather hide is beautifully unique, with its own set of distinctive characteristics. Leather may contain scars, scratches, and variations in texture, shade, and temper, all of which contribute to its one-of-a-kind look. These natural imperfections are what make leather so special.

⚠️Card Pockets A Little Tight? That’s How It Should Be

When first received, the card pockets may feel snug. This is intentional: over time, the leather naturally softens and molds to your cards, creating a perfect custom fit. The initial tightness ensures your cards stay secure and your wallet retains its shape for years to come.

Important Note:

Due to variations in screen displays, the actual colour and texture of the leather may differ slightly from what you see online.

Leather is a natural fiber, and just like any fine material, it can dry out over time. To keep your leather goods soft, supple, and protected, we recommend applying a leather balm or conditioner. 

For optimal care, use a natural leather conditioner specifically designed for full-grain leather. This will nourish and protect the leather, keeping it in top condition for years to come.

Important Leather Care Tips 💡

Products in Daily Use:  Leather products that are regularly held, touched, or carried will require little to no maintenance. The natural oils from your hands will condition the leather and enhance its patina with use, making your product more unique and beautiful over time.

🪶Engraved Leather - A Note on Your Unique Leather Piece

If your leather product is engraved, it receives a beautiful, custom finish.
During this process, a small amount of ash residue may be present — this is completely normal and temporary!

⚠️ We recommend handling with care and avoiding contact with light coloured surfaces initially, as some transfer may occur.
With regular use over the coming weeks, the ash residue will naturally fade, leaving you with a clean, lasting design to enjoy for years to come.
