Nestor Navy Blue Newtrend Rhf Electric Semi Aniline Leather Corner Sofa

Semi-Aniline Leather

Semi-aniline leather sits between corrected grain and fully aniline leather. It is often manufactured from better-quality hides with fewer natural markings. Unlike a corrected grain leather, the surface is not buffed or corrected, so some natural markings may still be visible. Aniline dye is predominantly used to colour the leather, and a thin pigment coating is then applied to its surface. A much thinner coating of pigment is used on semi-aniline leather to allow the natural beauty of the leather to show through.

We use Softouch leather match on the lower sides and back of our sofas. This is polymer-based material and has an embossed grain very similar to leather. With huge innovations in this technology over the last couple of years, colour matching is virtually identical to the leather used.
