How to save your quality designer leather couch!
Aniline Leather is a type of leather finished with penetrating dyes. In the tanning process, the pigment thoroughly penetrates the leather hide while maintaining the natural characteristics of the leather surface such as healed scars, pores, bites, blemishes and other natural marks.
How Does Aniline Leather Wear ?
Spotting, Scratches, Fading !
Aniline Leather requires special cleaning and maintenance because of its porous and transparent nature. Aniline leather is finished without the protection of a top surface coat and in most cases without a protective sealant. As a result, the leather surface is absorbent and susceptible to water spotting, bodily oils, and darkening of the finish. Direct sunlight can result in color fading, discoloration, and a weathered patina. Sun damage can also cause leather dryness and loss of moisture.
