carteggiato just means sanded, and you could it as an adjective .... years in leather furniture business might be reliable enough. Happy translating

corrected grain leather


Explanation:
Le pelli rifinite a pigmento si possono a loro volta suddividere in sottogruppi, quali:

Pelle pieno fiore rifinita a pigmento - pelle di primissima scelta, il cui fiore non viene corretto e sul quale si applica poi il film di rifinizione.
Pelle smerigliata rifinita a pigmento - la pelle viene carteggiata lievemente per rimuovere eventuali imperfezioni e subisce poi l’applicazione di un film di rifinizione. La superficie viene poi stampata per riprodurre il disegno della grana naturale.
* Full-Grain leather or Top-Grain is referring to the upper section of a hide that contains the epidermis or skin layer. It refers to hides that have not been sanded, buffed or snuffed(otherwise known as Corrected) in order to remove imperfections on the surface of the hide. Only the hair has been removed from the epidermis. The grain remains in its natural state which will allow the best fiber strength, resulting in greater durability. The natural grain also has natural breathability, resulting in greater comfort for clothing. The natural Full-Grain surface will wear better than other leather. Rather than wearing out, it will develop a natural "Patina" and grow more beautiful over time. The finest leather furniture and footwear are made from Full-Grain leather. For these reasons only the best raw hide are used in order to create Full-Grain or Top-Grain leather. Full grain leathers can mainly be bought as two finish types: aniline and semi-aniline.

* Corrected-Grain leather is any Top-Grain leather that has had its surfaces sanded, buffed or snuffed in order to remove any imperfection on the surface due to insect bites, healed scars or brands.
