Pure Aniline
Pure aniline leather is the most natural and luxurious category of leather. Dyed for only color without any pigments or finishes applied, leather’s original characteristics are able to shine through. Naturally beautiful characteristics, such as subtle marks, grains, and imperfections come to life in these hides. Pure anilines age gracefully with time, deepening in hue and character as the years go by. This category of leathers is for those who cherish authenticity, a true connection to the natural world, and a timeless elegance that grows ever more enchanting. Note: These hides will fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Leather Cleaning & Care:
Cleaning and care instructions are broken down into three different groups: pure anilines, protected leathers, and nubucks. With all groups avoid placing in direct sunlight (under windows or skylights.) All materials will fade over time when placed in direct sunlight. Also, general household cleaning products are not recommended as they can break down and damage the leather’s surface. See the groupings below for more individual cleaning and care instruction.
Pure Aniline Leather
Just like your own skin, leather must be maintained and cleaned on a regular basis, not just when the furniture looks “dirty.” Leather furniture should be vacuumed (with a drapery nozzle) on a weekly or biweekly basis. After furniture has been vacuumed, dampen a clean white cloth with distilled water and wipe the leather to remove any dust particles that the vacuum may have missed. You may clean spills or stains with a clean white cloth and distilled water. Wipe the area until the water turns the leather dark; allow the leather to dry before repeating the process. Do not use any type of soap or alkaline products on the leather, they may cause the leather to dry or crack.
