Taurus is a type of full-grain leather known for its strength and distinctive texture. It is typically left more untreated or minimally processed in terms of surface smoothing. Taurus leather is more textured because it comes from the hides of mature cows, which tend to have a more pronounced and varied grain compared to younger animals like calves. As mature cows have lived longer, their hides typically feature more natural markings, wrinkles, and pores, giving the leather a more rugged and textured appearance and adding character to each piece. Taurus maintains a soft, supple feel, which allows it to mold to its shape over time, developing a rich patina.
