Types of Leather
- Full Aniline:
- The leather has no special protective coating so it will grow patina through time and usage. Full aniline leather is like a canvas where the wearer is the artist. How it ages depends on the daily usage.
- Semi-Aniline:
- A special protective coating given to the leather at the last stage to make it water/stain resistant. No patina growth.
