the paidal studio
at your fingertips
The paidal studio comes to you. We are constantly on the look out for high quality leathers in interesting finishes. We have curated a set of leathers that pair perfectly with our styles. Start customising your paidals by choosing a leather.
Natural grain and soft feel
MILLED
Milling or tumbling is a finishing technique in which tanned leather is tumbled in a drum. This softens the leather and enhances its natural grain.
Napped flesh side leather with a velvety texture
SUEDE
Suede is a napped leather made from the flesh/inner side of the hide by buffing it to raise the fibers that give it a velvety finish and soft feel.
Laminated or pigmented leathers with shimmery surfaces
METALLIC
Metallic leathers come in a wide variety of finishes that offer everything from a subtle shine to a bright reflection.
Leather with hair on the hide
HAIR ON HIDE
Made from cow or sheep hide by preserving the hair on the hide and shaving it down for a sleek finish. This leather is dyed or printed with abstract patterns to show off its glossy surface and unique texture.
Leathers with raised textures
EMBOSSED
Natural leather is embossed by a metal plate under high pressure resulting in all manner of textures. We love the tactile and visual effects of embossed leathers.
We have attempted to provide accurate close-up images of each leather to show its texture and colour. Since leather is a natural material with variety seen even within each hide, despite our best efforts you may find that that the finished product does not exactly match the photos provided. We hope you enjoy wearing your paidals knowing that no two pairs are alike and never will be!
