Where craftsmanship meets character.

Broken Suela is a naturally finished tan leather hide that features a stunning, crinkled texture and warm, earthy tone—perfect for high-end upholstery, furniture design, and statement wall coverings. The name “Suela” (Spanish for “sole leather”) reflects its classic saddle-brown hue, offering a timeless canvas for creative interiors.

Handcrafted in Patagonia using chrome-free, vegetable-tanning processes, this hide preserves the skin’s natural variations, wrinkles, and sheen—each one a testament to its authenticity and artisan finish. Whether used in sleek contemporary spaces or rustic design settings, Broken Suela offers tactile richness and visual depth that will evolve with use.

MORE ABOUT OUR PATAGONIAN LEATHER COLLECTION

FAQ

Is Broken Suela suitable for furniture upholstery?

Yes – this hide is ideal for upholstered furniture, wall panels, and leather cushions. It’s both strong and flexible with a rich natural texture.

What is special about vegetable-tanned leather?

Vegetable tanning uses natural tannins from bark and leaves rather than chromium salts. This produces eco-conscious, biodegradable leather with better aging and texture.

Will the crinkled texture wear well over time?

Yes. The texture is part of the finishing process and is designed to enhance with use, developing a rich, lived-in patina that adds character.
