Leather
Aniline (Bull, Mimosa, Pure)
Aniline leather is the closest you can get to the raw natural hide. Aniline leather is exclusive and soft while also being very comfortable. In order to keep the hide as close to the natural state there is no surface protection and therefor this leather type will be vulnerable to liquids, grease and stains.
Since there is no surface correction this hide will also have natural “defects” like small scars, insect bites and more. This is not a flaw in the material but shows the value of a natural and genuine material.
Aniline leather will overtime reflect how the furniture has been used and develop a beautiful patina.
Maintenance
Leather is undemanding in care, but it is very sensitive against all aggressive care products. Never use aggressive cleaning aids containing alcohol or chemicals.
Items such as fluids, stain removers, solvents, turpentine, shoe polish or like is NOT suitable for maintaining our products.
Care instructions
Please protect from sunlight or strong light in general as well as keep away from strong heat sources. From time to time, please vacuum the furniture gently. Please use caution and use prober mouth piece, in order not to scratch the leather.
Cleaning
Dust: Remove with a vacuum cleaner or a soft cotton cloth.
Dried dirt: Rough gently with a soft polish brush and then vacuum carefully.
Stain removal: Apply natural soap flake foam with a soft clean cotton cloth, let the furniture dry up. Afterwards wipe-off furniture with a new clean cotton cloth.

Aniline Nubuck (Ranch)
Aniline nubuck is an aniline hide that has underwent a special tanning process to get its special and characteristic looks. Our aniline nubuck is lightly polished and topped with a special oil, creating the unique visual properties.
Due to this special treatment colour variations may occur.
As this is an aniline leather this leather will be vulnerable to liquids, grease and stains.
Since there is no surface correction this hide will also have natural “defects” like small scars, insect bites etc. This is not a flaw in the material but shows the value of a natural and genuine material.
This leather will overtime reflect how the furniture has been used and develop a beautiful patina.

Semi-aniline (Jumbo, Texas/Texas Plus)
Semi aniline leathers have unlike pure aniline hides been given a light surface treatment making it slightly more resistant to liquids, grease and stains. Therefor this type of hide will have fewer natural “defects” like small scars, insect bites etc. But will still retain comfortable properties and natural looks.

Corrected (Toledo)
Corrected leather has been given a thicker surface treatment making it more durable and practical in daily usage. The compromise of this treatment is the leather is no quite as soft and comfortable as aniline leather.
This type of leather will be more homogeneous in its appearance since the surface is corrected and the structure is imprinted artificially.
