Nubuck is a genuine leather with a finely sanded grain surface, featuring a soft velvety texture and a distinctive matte finish. It is produced from high-quality full-grain leather, where the top layer is lightly buffed using abrasive materials.
This finishing process creates a uniform short nap that is pleasant to the touch and provides a visible shade-changing effect when brushed by hand or when the direction of the nap changes.
The material is known for its flexibility, softness, and premium appearance, making it widely used for footwear, bags, belts, accessories, and high-end leather goods.
Nubuck requires special care and additional moisture protection, as its buffed surface is more sensitive to external conditions.
