Additional Information
- Only the best raw hides are used for Pure-Aniline leathers, however, because of the lack of artificial embossing there mayﾠbe natural hallmarks such as insect bites and scratches still visible on the finished product, these being a sure sign of a superior naturalﾠleather with its own individuality
- Pure-Aniline leathers do not have a protective coating applied to the surface and are therefore more susceptible to sunlight. Careﾠshould be taken in high-traffic areas where food and drink spillage could stain the leather
