We have teamed up with two manufacturers, well renowned for their craftsmanship and commitment to quality. Mediterraneo in the area of Abruzzo, Italy, and De La Espiga Difusión S.L. from the leather centre of Ubrique in Spain – a family-owned company that has handcrafted the best leather goods the world has to offer since their start half a century ago. Their expertise has made them much appreciated partners with many in the fashion and luxury industry that, above all else, honours quality and tradition.

The skin, or hide, is generally split into four different layers – that has a big impact on the quality. The top layer, called full grain, is the best. It develops patina over time and retains the toughness as well as the imperfections. The second highest grade is top grain. It’s split from the top layer and then sanded to get rid of scars and scrapes. It’s strong and durable, but smoother and more flexible than the full grain. Corrected grain (commonly called Genuine Leather) is produced using the skin layers that remain after the top is split off, and bonded leather is made up of leftovers from the hide (we would hardly call it leather). Suede is made from the underside of the hide. All Singular Society products are made from full grain leather, top grain leather and suede.
