Italian leather & Alcantara®

Forty years of leather, applied to cars

Our Details by Signature brand was built in large part due to our expertise and success in custom leather upholstery. The finest Italian leather in a bespoke pattern, with a wide range of choices, allows our clientele unparalleled customisation options for their vehicle.

Leather Upholstery

It is our very aim to turn your vision into reality, through minor highlights such as coloured stitching or a completely custom spec-built interior. We provide you with a truly signature service that allows you to personalise your vehicle.

Why showrooms send us their cars

Showroom Partners

The reliability, quality and constant innovation in the custom leather upholstery business has played an integral role in strengthening our relationship with all major showrooms in Mauritius, which we have worked closely with since our humble beginnings in the automotive industry.

Unique Patterns

We love a challenge, and unique patterns are a great way of allowing our customers to get something truly bespoke to them, often reflecting their individuality and persona. We also provide options to include important initials, emblems or other markings into the upholstery.

Customisation options available

A black leather seat bolster lit from one side. Pale grey thread runs along the seam in a colour several shades lighter than the hide, so the stitching reads as a drawn line across a dark panel rather than disappearing into it.

Contrast Stitching

A technique used in upholstery to refer to a stitching colour that directly contrasts with the main fabric. Used in certain patterns and linings to produce design details that stand out from the rest of the seat.

A close view of a tan hide where two panels meet. Two parallel rows of cream thread run either side of the seam, a few millimetres apart, so the join lies flat instead of standing up as a ridge.

Double Stitching

A design technique used to enhance the overall look and feel of an automotive seat by allowing the bulk from the seam allowance to be distributed more evenly, providing an even smoother finish.

A cabin trimmed in two colours. An oxblood leather panel with a pale stitch line sweeps across the dashboard, meeting a near-black lower panel below it and a pale grey upper panel above, so three tones of the same cabin are visible at once.

Two-tone

A two-tone colour option provides the ability to explore a wide variety of design options with two colours of your choice. This option truly gives the interior a special, custom-made look.

Perforated Leather

Leather perforation is the act of cutting holes into the surface at regular intervals. Used almost exclusively for exclusive vehicle upholstery to enhance the air permeability of the leather, and to give the interior a sportier look.

Embroidery & Embossing

The ultimate personalisation option. This allows names, numbers, logos and initials to be forever embedded into the fabric.

Piping

Seat piping has been used by classic and modern car trimmers to give seats structure and definition, as well as an elegant design feature, for many years.

Signature Stitching

A wide variety of computerised stitching options such as diamond stitching, cross stitching and hexagonal cross stitching. This adds complexity and character to the interior. Due to the sheer complexity of the designs, only the most exclusive of vehicles have computerised stitching interiors.

Pricing

Leather grades

All prices quoted +VAT.

01

Standard Leather

EstimatedFrom MUR 58,000+ VAT

Our entry-level option for those looking for a custom luxury leather interior. A corrected grain leather, processed by splitting the natural grain to the required thickness, buffed and embossed to our standard hair cell pattern.

Corrected grain leather tends to be tougher in texture due to the fact that it resides under the top layers, and is often used in furniture and table tops.

02

Premium Leather

EstimatedFrom MUR 70,000+ VAT

A top-grain leather created by processing the natural grain of a full grain skin. The resulting effect is a flawless finish with no natural scars showing.

Embossed in the world-famous Dakota embossing used by German luxury automotive manufacturer BMW. Our premium grade leather offers added durability, and its pigmentation gives the leather an attractive look and true leather feel.

03

Nappa Leather

EstimatedFrom MUR 130,000+ VAT

A higher degree of luxury and a higher grade than premium or standard. A type of soft, full-grain leather with a natural look and feel preserved with a specialised finish.

With this finish and pigmentation applied, Nappa leather is more durable and distinct than aniline or semi-aniline leathers, perfect for a luxury automobile. Nappa can also be embossed to enhance the natural full-grain look or add a brand's logo.

04

Alcantara®

EstimatedFrom MUR 15,720 per m²+ VAT

A microfibre material manufactured by Alcantara S.p.A. of Milan, Italy, used across fashion, clothing and jewellery as well as automotive.

Despite having a similar appearance to suede, Alcantara can endure much harsher environments without spoiling its soft and silky characteristics. This makes it ideal inside cars. It brushes off light scuffs and marks with ease where other materials may be damaged. Many performance and high-end cars use it for its grippy texture and premium appearance.

Prices are “as from” figures and exclude VAT. Every vehicle is different: the final quote depends on size, condition and the coverage you choose. Bring the car in and we will price it properly, in writing, at no charge.
