The Luxury of Full-Grain Leather

Unmatched Strength, Naturally Refined

Full-grain leather is crafted from the entire hide, so the natural grain remains untouched. This preserves its inherent strength, giving each piece an enduring elegance that actually gets better with use and age.

 Breathability That Enhances Comfort

Its untouched grain allows the leather to breathe beautifully, adapting with grace to temperature and moisture. The result is heirloom quality bags that remains supple, balanced, and exquisitely comfortable year after year.

  A Patina That Tells a Story

As full-grain leather ages, it develops a rich, lustrous patina, which is that wow factor that gives full-grain luxury items that look of class and sophistication.  Even when you don’t know what you are looking at you “know”. Rather than wearing out, it wears in, growing more captivating over time, elevating every piece into enduring luxury.

 The Mark of True Craftsmanship

Universally recognized as the highest grade of leather, full-grain is the choice of master artisans who value authenticity and integrity. To own it is to invest in timeless quality, crafted to accompany you for years with beauty, refinement and long-lasting durability.

Meet The Maker

Rooted in a legacy of horsemanship three generations strong, Equestrian Noire is our attempt to pour back into our community our love, passion and appreciation of the equestrian lifestyle through leather goods that respect and honor the centuries-old craft of leather working.

The journey started with me repairing horse tack and appreciating the feel, smell and craftsmanship of well made saddles and bridles and the realization that this leather was different in important ways from the leather goods available in the mall and department stores.

This rabbit hole lead to an understanding that full-grain leather (not genuine leather) made all the difference and we committed, despite the costs, to make all our products from 100 % full-grain leather so that each bag showcases our commitment to craftsmanship and timeless elegance.

We oversees every stage of design and production, ensuring each piece is a testament to our dedication to quality and personalized craftsmanship. This personalized approach distinguishes Equestrian Noire, crafting timeless pieces that embody their love for style, craftsmanship, and community.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT TYPE OF LEATHER ARE YOUR PRODUCTS MADE OF?

Our products use only full-grain leather; it is the best, most expensive type of leather because it includes all the layers of hide, ensuring long-lasting suppleness, durability, and hand feel.

WHY IS FULL GRAIN LEATHER SO DESIRABLE?


Full-grain leather is considered the best and highest-quality type of leather for several reasons, mainly due to its durability, natural appearance, and aging properties.


Full-grain leather is made from the Complete animal hide, which includes all the natural grain. It is not sanded, buffed, or corrected to remove imperfections. This preserves the hide’s full strength and unique texture.

Because it retains the entire grain layer, full-grain leather is stronger and more durable than other types (like top-grain or genuine leather). The natural fibers in the grain make it resistant to tearing, stretching, and wear, it can last decades or even a lifetime with proper care.

Over time, full-grain leather develops a patina, a soft, glossy sheen that enhances its appearance with age and use. This gives it a distinct, vintage character that many people value in high-end bags, shoes, and furniture.

The natural pores of the hide remain intact, allowing the leather to breathe. This makes full-grain leather more comfortable in products like shoes, jackets, and upholstery, as it adjusts to temperature and moisture better than processed leathers.

Each piece of full-grain leather is unique, showing natural marks, scars, and texture variations. This authenticity appeals to people who appreciate craftsmanship and the individuality of each hide.

Since it’s minimally treated, full-grain leather is also more eco-friendly (depending on the tanning process) and retains the most natural characteristics of the animal hide.
