Our Chelsea Collection of women’s leather wallets and bags features aniline leather! Aniline leather refers to a specific way leather is treated to give it a soft, buttery feel. Aniline leather is dyed using only soluble dyes; the exclusive use of soluble dyes preserves the hide’s natural surface (unlike the uniform, unnatural surface produced by an insoluble pigmented sealant). Because the leather retains the hide’s natural imperfections and variations, only the highest quality hides are appropriate for aniline leather. Since we use full grain leather (the highest grade), the result is truly the finest leather that can be created. Supple, soft, and as natural as possible, aniline leather is a luxurious choice.
