Crowning the heart of the Ashton Leather Hide Ottoman is the buffalo hide-wrapped straps. This isn’t just upholstery; it’s a tapestry of wild, rich texture. Small strips of genuine buffalo hide—known for its incredible durability and beautiful grain—are carefully selected. These hides are rich, in deep tobacco browns. The magic happens when these hide strips are tightly wrapped and interwoven, creating a dense, cushioned surface that’s both soft to the touch and undeniably tough. This detail turns the simple seat into a work of art--a rustic weave that feels authentic and full of character.
