Chevre Chagrin "Liege Main" Goat Leather comes from the Alran Tannery in France. The Alran tannery has been producing some of the finest goat leather for luxury brands for over 100 years. They are well known for their premium goat leather and the beautiful colors they are able to produce.
This goat leather is their top grade. The leather is tanned in a full veg-tanned crust and then retanned and dyed with some mineral tannage to add softness and strength at thinner thicknesses. The tanning process involves a unique 23 step process that takes over 4 weeks to produce each hide. This special process involves a lot of hands and working the leather to give it the beautiful grain, soft supple feel and an even color. The grain has a natural texture that adds beautiful depth to the leather. It is easy to cut and skive.
The difference between the Sully and the Ligee Main is the finish, the sully is a pigmented finish that is very clean and even. The Liege Main is a full aniline finish that brings in the beautiful variation of the leather.
**The Liege Main will show more natural variation in the lighter colors. If you want very clean leather we recommend you purchase the Sully. If you like a rustic type look with beautiful variation the Liege Main is a great fit.
