    Vintage Full Aniline Leather

    Raw Full Aniline Leather – The Purest Expression of Hide
    Our Vintage Aniline Leather is crafted from raw full aniline hides, the highest grade of natural leather available. Each piece is untreated and uncoated, allowing the hide’s natural grain, marks, and variations to shine through - the way true leather was meant to be experienced.


    European Sourced & Hand Cut
    We source exclusively from select European tanneries, renowned for their heritage craftsmanship and sustainable practices. Every panel is hand-cut by skilled artisans, ensuring exceptional precision and preserving the leather’s natural beauty.


    For the True Connoisseur
    Ideal for home interiors and collectors who appreciate authenticity and timeless character. Over time, this leather develops a rich patina, deepening in tone and personality with every touch and year of use.


    Care & Upkeep
    As a natural, unprotected leather, it requires regular care and conditioning to maintain its softness and protect against wear - a rewarding process for those who value true, living materials.

    Deluxe Full Grain Leather

    Semi-Aniline Full Grain Leather – Balance of Beauty & Durability
    Our Deluxe Full Grain Leather features semi-aniline treatment, offering the same luxurious texture of full-grain leather with a light protective finish. This subtle coating enhances durability while retaining the leather’s natural feel and depth of tone.


    European Sourced & Hand Cut
    Responsibly sourced from leading European tanneries and expertly hand cut, every piece embodies precision and consistency - a hallmark of quality craftsmanship.


    Versatile and Resilient
    Perfect for both home and commercial environments, this leather combines elegance with endurance. Its natural surface remains supple yet strong, capable of standing up to daily use without compromising on style.


    Easy to Maintain
    With its low-maintenance finish, it requires minimal upkeep - simply wipe clean and occasionally condition to preserve its refined appearance.
