Leather Care

Leather Is Simply The Best

Leather is twice as strong and will last four times longer than fabric. It will not crack or tear and has the ability to stretch while retaining its shape to assure a long lasting luxurious appearance.

Leather is easy to clean and needs little care during normal use. For families with small children and pets, buy leathers treated with a protective topcoat. The protective strength of these treated leathers makes them resistant to stains.

Leather furniture may be more expensive than fabric, but keep in mind that leather’s longer lifespan makes it a worthwhile investment.

Leather adapts to any room temperature. Many people have the misconception that leather is hot and sticky in the summer and cold in the winter. Exactly the opposite is true. Leather is a natural product and has a porous surface, which “breathes” to quickly adjust to both body temperature and varying humidity. It’s comfortable year round.

Leather, unlike synthetics, has a “patina” a coat that becomes richer with use and age. The natural markings on the hide, such as nicks, neck wrinkles or scratches give each individual hide its own personality and actually add value to the piece. Leather is one of the few materials that looks better with age.

It’s Only Natural

Since leather is a product of Nature, no two hides are exactly alike. Cattle lead an unsheltered life and encounter a variety of nature’s elements in their search for food. Grazing brings the animals in contact with trees, bushes and barbed wire, which can leave scratches and scars on the hide. Differences in tone or grain, healed scars or wrinkles are unique characteristics of each hide and are considered distinctive markings, a further confirmation of the quality of Genuine Leather.
