Leather is a 100% natural product. Each hide is truly unique and individual bearing the distinctive marks and characteristics of its natural origin which will vary from hide to hide. These are its beauty and give leather its authenticity, expensive good looks, style, comfort, long lasting durability and will develop a patina over time.
Types of upholstery leather
There are 3 main types of upholstery leather: Aniline, Semi-Aniline and Pigmented.
|
|
Aniline:
A delicate and sensitive hide that is dyed through with only a light surface/finish protection. This leaves the most natural look and feel that will age beautifully over time. A more careful maintenance and understanding of this type of leather is required by the tanner and the customer. |
Semi-Aniline:
These hides are dyed through and then given a light pigment coating. This maintains the natural look, luxurious touch and also makes the leather more durable and easier to care for than an aniline. |
Pigmented:
These hides undergo the same processes as aniline and semi-aniline leather, but then are given additional pigmented finished=s and treatments to enhance the yield and durability to make the leather easier to clean and maintain. |
Sampling:
Swatch books and individual samples of all the leathers are available for immediate despatch to you. They are for colour reference and finish and should be regarded as no more than a guide as colours naturally may vary from batch to batch. |
