What is nubuck leather?
Nubuck leather is made from the outer layer of animal hide and is known for its soft, velvety texture. It is produced by sanding the top of the leather, creating a velvety and slightly matte surface. Compared to other types of leather, nubuck leather is particularly breathable and feels very comfortable against the skin.

Care
