FAQs
❓ What is Aniline leather, and how is it different from other types of leather?
Aniline leather is a type of full-grain leather that has been dyed using pure aniline dyes, which preserve its natural grain and texture. Unlike pigmented leathers, which have a protective coating, aniline leather remains unprotected and allows the natural characteristics of the hide, such as scars and grain patterns, to be visible. This makes it soft, supple, and uniquely beautiful, but it also requires more care as it is more susceptible to stains and wear.
❓ What are the main features of your Aniline leather collection?
Our Aniline leather collection features soft, supple full-grain hides with a sleek wax finish. The leather has a distinctive patina that develops over time, adding to its uniqueness. It is available in six beautiful color options: Bayou, Charcoal, Coal, Fern, Mustard, Ocean, and Sand. Each hide is vacuum-dried in Italy to achieve a smooth, subtle grain, and the leather’s natural characteristics make it ideal for high-end home furnishings, contract, and hospitality uses.
❓ What is the thickness and size of the Aniline leather hides?
The Aniline leather hides in our collection measure approximately 55 square feet, with a thickness ranging between 0.9-1.1 mm (2.25-2.75 oz). This makes it ideal for both upholstery and other high-end leather applications.
❓ How does Aniline leather perform in terms of durability?
Aniline leather is highly durable, with performance characteristics including a minimum pH of 3.2 and color fastness to rubbing rated =3 after 50 cycles (dry) and =3 after 20 cycles (wet). It also features a tensile strength of =8 MPa, tear strength of >20 N, and complies with flame resistance standards (CA TB 117-2013, NFPA-260 Class 1). While Aniline leather is unprotected, it provides long-lasting elegance and resilience when cared for properly.
❓ How do I care for Aniline leather?
Aniline leather requires careful maintenance due to its unprotected nature. Regularly dusting and cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. Avoid exposing the leather to direct sunlight or excessive moisture, as it may cause discoloration or damage. For deeper cleaning, it's advisable to use products designed specifically for Aniline leather. Over time, the leather will develop a beautiful patina, adding to its character.
