What GSM means
GSM means grams per square metre. It helps compare fabric weight, but it does not alone determine quality, drape, warmth, recovery or durability.
All ranges are practical starting points, not guaranteed final specifications. Final composition, GSM or leather thickness, colour, finish, availability, minimums and lead time are confirmed during sampling and quotation.
