Genuine Leather 
Aniline Leathers - Raven, Coffee, Cafe, Cedar, Hermitage, Maple, Bronze and Pewter.
Aniline leather is basically aniline dyed leather without any pigment applied to the surface. When selecting an album made from aniline leathers, be aware that natural scarring is far more prevalent. Particularly on large albums, it is almost impossible for the album to be completely free of some sort of scarring.

Corrected Grain Leathers - Black, Ivory, Navy, Dark Grey, Chocolate, Port, terracotta, Teak, Capsicum and Chilli.
Corrected grain leather generally has a full pigment finish applied to the corrected and embossed surface. Correct grain leathers also have minimal surface marking and scarring and as a result, these leathers should be chosen if you would like the album surface to have a uniform appearance.

Durability: excellent

Outback Leather

Top grain, dyed, embossed leather. Still the best option for those who insist on the best in appearance and durability. This leather is a full grain leather which has been buffed to produce a soft nap surface. It is very soft and more likely to soil that the full or corrected grain leathers. It is also a natural characteristic of this type of leather for the colour to vary slightly from hide to hide.
It should be noted that animals are subject to wounds, tears and scars, as well as insect bites which will leave their mark. Since the injuries heal quickly, they do not affect the leather's durability or longevity in any way

Durability: excellent
