Nubuck leather is a type of leather that has been sanded or buffed to create a velvety texture. It is made from genuine leather, but it has not undergone any treatment to remove its natural grain. As a result, the surface of nubuck leather has small grooves and ridges that give it an unique appearance. This type of leather is often used in high-end furniture, shoes, and clothing because of its luxurious feel and elegant look.
