Semi-aniline leather includes a mixture of aniline dyes and a light covering of protective
pigments. These pigments will provide some protections against spills and weather, while
retaining some of the leather's more natural qualities. This type is the bridge between finished
and unfinished leather - an excellent choice for anyone caught in the middle between quality
and security.
Finished Leather is imbued with a barrier of highly protective pigments that ward away harmful
elements. While it won't keep fluids from getting through, it will give you more time to deal with
them before they absorb. Same with any treatment given to it - cleaners and conditioners will
remain on the surface longer before absorbing, prompting some people to over-condition.
Finished leather is highly protected and easy to maintain, but it can scratch more easily, and
lacks the depth of appearance, texture and smell of natural leather, taking on uniform traits
similar to plastic. Regardless, finished leather maintains excellent quality balanced with a stylish
simplicity.
Animal Donor
Animal donors may be the single most important factor in determining leather’s temperament.
They may include cowhide, crocodile, lambskin, toad, or even shark. There are infinite varieties,
but most commonly these breeds can be pegged into three categories.
