Premium and luscious look of leather at a lower cost.
Pigmented leathers are finished with a colour applied onto the surface, usually involving two to three layers of colour coating. This application results in a solid, consistent colour throughout the entire hide. Some pigmented finishes may feature a two-tone effect, intentionally designed to break away from monotony and provide a more dynamic appearance to the leather.
Aniline or Semi Aniline vintage leathers are leathers tanned with natural dyes extracted from plants, creating a rich palette. The drum tanning technique ensures a full-colour absorption. Some leathers are finished with beeswax for a smooth, semi-gloss, or high-gloss finish.
Over time, these natural finishes develop unique character, with parts darkening or lightening based on their environmental surroundings. As such, you get to experience the evolving charm of vintage leathers in your space.
The telltale signs include fading colour and the onset of cracks. There's no need to worry immediately; you can continue using the leather for an extended period. Consider making a change only when the cracks have further developed.
Choosing the right leather depends on your furniture type and home conditions. Here are two scenarios to guide you:
Modern Sofas – Recliner, Modular, Tuxedo, Barcelona:
For households with children or pets, opt for pigmented leathers. These are resistant to stains and easier to maintain, making them a practical choice for luxurious finishes like recliners and modular sofas.
Vintage Sofas – Chesterfield, English Rolled Arm, Knole, Cabriole, Lawson:
Experience unparalleled charm with vintage leathers, unique and not commonly found in mass markets. Ideal for vintage pieces such as Chesterfield sofas and Wing chairs, they bring out a noble and nostalgic look. However, they require delicate care, so it's advisable to avoid them in homes with children and pets.
Our commitment to quality craftsmanship means that the sofa's style will be maintained in alignment with its original design. While we prioritise your satisfaction, major style changes will only be considered if absolutely necessary.

Maintenance Advice:
As an upholstery company, we advise regular conditioning for your sofa. Leather, akin to our skin, is a natural product requiring care to stay soft and supple. The longevity of leather is also influenced by user habits and environmental conditions; To mitigate damage risks, avoid placing leather in high-moisture or poorly ventilated areas and be mindful of using sharp objects like keys or penknives on the leather.
Experience convenience with our stain-free technology. Simply use water and a kitchen towel to effortlessly remove stains. For tougher stains, repeating the process ensures effective removal.
Disclaimer:
While the stain-free technology provides substantial protection, it is not entirely impervious to oil-based stains like curry. The fabric can withstand stains to a significant degree, offering reliable protection but may not claim to be 100% stain-proof.
