How to Make Patent Leather

Patent leather is a stunning material often used in the creation of handbags and leather goods. Maison Meridian's Hannah Mini Handbag, for example, is crafted from luxurious gold patent leather.

How is Patent Leather Made?

To create patent leather, the leather is first dyed or painted with the desired color. In the case, metallic gold paint is used. The leather is then left to dry before a second coat of paint is applied.

Once the paint has fully dried, a high-gloss varnish is carefully applied to the leather. After the first coat of varnish dries, a second coat is added to enhance the shine and durability of the material.

After the second coat of varnish has dried, the leather undergoes a meticulous sanding process using a super fine grit sandpaper. Any residual dust is wiped away, and the leather is buffed to a smooth finish using a microfiber cloth.

Finally, a final coat of varnish is applied to the leather, giving it that signature glossy look patent leather is known for. The leather is left to dry completely before it is ready to be crafted into beautiful handbags like the Mini Hannah.
