      <image:title>Blog - Furniture Leather Guide - ANILINE LEATHER</image:title>
      <image:caption>Aniline leather is known for natural beauty and exclusivity. Only about 5% of raw hides meet the quality standards required for this limited material. Because the surface is untreated and the pores are open, the leather is extremely soft and breathable. Natural markings such as scars, wrinkles, and grain variation are visible but is also what makes each piece of leather unique. With time Aniline Leather develops patina. Dyed leather will fade with sunlight The leather will darken with use In busy households with kids or pets patina will appear faster. This evolution is part of its beauty, but it also means the leather requires a bit more care.

      <image:title>Blog - Furniture Leather Guide - SEMI ANILINE LEATHER</image:title>
      <image:caption>This leather type falls between natural beauty and everyday practicality. About 10-15% of leather meets the standards for this leather type. It has a light surface protectant, this enhances the leathers resistance to stains and makes for easier maintenance. Despite its surface finish, it still keeps the natural look and markings of the leather, comfort and softness.

      <image:title>Blog - Furniture Leather Guide - PROTECTED LEATHER</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the most durable and low maintenance option of natural leathers. Protected leather goes through substantial surface and coloring treatment. The top grain is buffed away to remove any natural markings, this gives the surface a uniform look. Even though protected leather is good for its durability and easy maintenance. It does not acquire the same breathability and softness as aniline and semi aniline leather.

      <image:title>Blog - Furniture Leather Guide - NUBUCK</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nubuc has a soft and velvet like surface, and looks similar to suede leather but is way more durable. Nubuc leather is very thick, which makes it less prone to ripping or deterioration. It's created from top grain leather that's been lightly sanded or buffed to remove its upper layer. Nubuc gives a luxurious expression to any furniture, and is very soft compared to other leathers. It requires a high level of maintenance as it`s very susceptible to water and stains.

How Important is Easy Maintenance? Do You Have Children or Pets? How Exposed Will it Be to Sunlight? Do You Like Patina? Answering these questions, and comparing it to the chart should help guide you in choosing a leather that suits your lifestyle, needs and expectations.</image:caption>
