Embossing is a technique that is used to create a raised pattern on different materials. Leather embossing is done by stamping leather using heat and high pressure to create a pattern or design in the hide. Your design options depend on the size and the shape of the stamp.
We work with the 20cm lengths, which is very wide to repeat positive messages or any kinds of texts or images into the same. The process starts with creating a stamp. Embossing stamps for leather or creating new moulds for leather we specalize in the same . Once the leather is ready to the specific color and size as needed, the stamps are pressed onto the leather to create the necessary embossing effect.
The colors when stamping can be changed too: we can have natural embossing or with silver or gold effect in the color of text. Embossing leaves a beautiful finish on leather. Using silver or gold foil we can create text in different colors while using the same stamp. The gold/silver fill effect sits upon the top surface of the leather.
Embossed leather goes back to the time when Southern Spain was known as Al-Andalus. This technique was first brought by Muslims, and has been kept alive through direct transmission in the main cities of the South of Spain, especially in Cordoba.
In the past, embossed leather pieces where mainly used for adornment. Furniture, chests, hamugas...It is easy to imagine the salons of the Alhambra decorated with hamugas, made out of marquetry, another traditional handicraft in Granada.
One of the factors that have influenced this modernization process of embossing has been the new products that can be found today for the dyeing and finishing of the leather. In the past, with the existing dyes, the embossed leather pieces had to be on a rigid support, which prevented the piece from folding or bending, as this would make the dye crack. Nowadays, there are many options for painting the leather that prevents this from happening: dyes with an alcohol base, water base, oil base, acraminas.
