Leather will breathe and ventilate, allowing it to adapt to its environment. Cleaning leather is a cinch. You can clean up water-based spills with mild soap and water. Saddle soaps and leather conditioners are not necessary with normal use. Ask your sales consultant about what leather care products are suggested for your type of leather.
Surface features testify to the authenticity of natural leather.
Variations across a hide like density of grain, creases and folds, distinguish your purchase. On a sofa, five hides will blend and compliment one another, but will not be identical. The natural markings that can appear on the surface are part of its allure. Like fingerprints, these marks tell a story of healed scratches, barbed wire marks, wrinkles and insect bites, all of which ensure you have purchased a genuine top grain hide. To understand leather's natural markings, you must know that even the best quality leather has natural markings.
