Finished leather is leather that has gone through the entire tanning and finishing process, which includes treating, dyeing, and sometimes coating or applying surface finishes to enhance its appearance, texture, durability, and resistance to moisture, stains, or wear. 

  1. Dyeing – The leather is colored to achieve a uniform look or desired shade.
  2. Pigment Coating – A layer of color or pigment may be applied to give the leather a specific shade, protect it from fading, and create a smooth surface.
  3. Protective Coating – A clear protective coating can help make the leather resistant to scratches, water, or UV light, enhancing its longevity.
  4. Embossing or Texturing – The surface can be embossed or texturized to create patterns or simulate grains.

These processes make finished leather smooth, shiny, and often more resilient, making it popular in upholstery, fashion, and accessories.

Common Types of Finishes:

  • Aniline: Minimal surface treatment for a natural look.
  • Semi-Aniline: Light coating for added protection.
  • Pigmented: A solid coating for maximum durability and uniformity.
