Manufacturing of leather
Our products are exclusively made of cowhide leather. Most are of European breed, but also imported from overseas. European leather may show lesser natural marks then those breeded overseas at broader planes.
Leather brought out of the slaughterhouse can not be refined at full thickness. Therefore, it is being sliced into several parts. The slicing procedure of that leather is also seperated in two parts: the top - colored, and the middle layers. Furniture vendors usually offer the top (colored) leather surface since it is milder, stronger and long lasting.
Following the cleansing procedure the leather is put into barrels for coloring. The final result is preceded with a protective layer coating. This way, the natural faults are covered by this coating layer.
Main attributes
Leather is a type of product which bears the marks of nature upon its surface. These marks are more-less visible to the naked eye. Many natural effects can determine the type of marks and scars on the leather which the animal bore during its lifetime. Can be: stings of insects, barbed wire or horned fight remnants. Can be also from the breeder or the overlander who drives the animal to the slaughterhouse. Moreover, scars can derive from diseases or other medical operations. These natural marks make the leather genuine and do not influence its long lasting feature, thus obviously do not make reason for client complaints or claims of such manner.
The leather has an exclusively mild touch, as is comfortable and warm. This feature derives from the temperature equalizing process which takes place through its half open poles.
During the use, as with any other leather product (bag, shoe, coat) wrinkles are formed, which only raise the esteem of the set. Mainly visible on seats and arm rest surfaces.
Pull-up effect is what makes the leather antique and causes a lighter color at the foldings and at the edges of the wrinkles. Thus making it antique.
