Onda Black Pearl, Gallant and Tessera Fortress from Garrett Leather



The Stylish Cestino, Espiga, Quadro, Onda and Tessera Collections Make Their Debut

Garrett Leather proudly announces the launch of five new embossed leather collections—Cestino, Espiga, Quadro, Onda and Tessera. Each collection is designed to reconnect us with the tangible beauty of artisanal craftsmanship in an increasingly digital world.

In an era dominated by screens and automation, these collections offer a return to the analog: a textured, tactile experience that honors tradition, intentionality, and the quiet power of handcraft. Inspired by natural forms and the intricate artistry of weaving, carving, and embroidery, each pattern evokes a sense of calm, depth, and connection.

“These leathers are thoughtfully crafted to engage the senses,” said Carolyn Perillo, Head of New Product Innovation at Garrett Leather. “Their texture and depth invite touch and add a layer of authenticity that transforms how a space feels and functions.”

 

A Celebration of Texture and Tradition

•  Cestino draws inspiration from handwoven baskets, offering a versatile texture with a hand-tipped finish and no plate lines.

•  Espiga features a braided motif enhanced by a high-gloss finish, reflecting harmony and organic elegance.

•  Quadro channels the interlaced warp and weft of traditional textiles, with a hand-antiqued surface that celebrates heritage.

•  Onda mimics the gentle movement of waves, with pearlescent accents that play with light and shadow.

•  Tessera presents a tightly woven aesthetic, blending modern sensibility with timeless craftsmanship.

Each leather is semi-aniline, embossed, and combination-tanned—offering the perfect balance of chrome-tanned suppleness and vegetable-tanned firmness, making it ideally suited for embossed patterns. This specialized tannage provides the optimal foundation for achieving detailed and lasting embossed designs, resulting in leather with a premium hand that is sturdy to hold detail while remaining pliable for versatile workability. These full sized and center-cut hides offer large cutting areas with minimal pattern disruption.

Epiga’s braided motif reflects an interest in organic form and harmony.

A Palette Rooted in Nature

The collections feature 20 rich colorways, including deep mineral blues, earthy reds, soot blacks, grounding neutrals, and opalescent highlights. These hues echo the natural materials and techniques artisans have used for centuries, while contemporary finishes add a refined touch. All colors are readily available to ship within two business days of purchase.
