A full-grain leather desk pad protects your desk, gives your mouse and pen a smooth surface, and looks better with age. These choices decide which one is right for you. Each one matches a filter above.
Thickness
Single layer or double layer
A single layer pad is one layer of full-grain leather, about 2mm thick. It is slim, light and lies flat.
A double layer pad is premium thick, about 3mm, with a second layer of real leather on the back. It adds cushion for writing and typing, and stays put on the desk.
Protection
Water resistance
Each pad is rated for how well it handles spills:
High: spills bead up and wipe right off.
Medium: wipe spills within a few minutes.
Low: wipe spills right away so they do not soak in.
Protection
Scratch resistance
Full-grain leather can mark, and most light scratches rub out with a fingertip. High scratch resistance pads hide nicks from pens, watches and mice best. On lower ones, marks show sooner, then blend into the patina over time.

Is a leather desk pad waterproof?
No natural leather is fully waterproof, but some of our pads handle spills much better than others. On a pad with high water resistance, coffee or water beads up and wipes right off. On any pad, wipe spills soon so they do not soak in.
Will a leather desk pad scratch?
Full-grain leather can mark, and most light scratches rub out with a fingertip. Pads with high scratch resistance hide nicks from pens, watches and mice best. Over time, small marks blend into the patina and give the pad its character.
How do I clean a leather desk pad?
Wipe it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Skip harsh cleaners and never soak the leather. A little leather conditioner now and then keeps it supple.
