The Hendrix Leather Sofa slipcover is made from premium full-grain aniline leather.
Aniline Leather is considered the finest quality and most natural-looking type of leather. The strength, soft feel, artistic textures, and unique irregularities found on the hide's surface indicate this type of leather uniqueness.
This leather is made from the topmost part of the hide. In the finishing process, craftsmen apply an aniline treatment of soluble dyes to preserve the natural grain, markings, scars, and wrinkles in the leather without colouring it, ensuring that the hide is left close to its purest form with minimum intervention and processing required.
In addition, during the aniline process, the leather does not usually obtain a uniform colour as the dye absorbs at different rates. Even though there is no pigment in the dye, the natural oils mixed with the aniline effect the colour slightly. This process keeps the natural character of the leather and makes full aniline leather one of the most sought-after types of leather.
Only 5% of full-grain leather hides are considered perfect enough to undergo an aniline treatment, showcasing the premium and one-of-a-kind nature of the product.
Aniline leather will age with grace and personality and naturally patina over time. It remains soft and supple since it lacks any extra processing or coating materials that make the leather stiff. The Hendrix Leather Sofa is an ideal selection for a sofa that will be a unique forever piece in your home.
All leather has flaws and natural markings; this does not indicate the quality of the leather. Instead, these give character to your piece and distinguish it from the imitation pieces.
