Drink up the rich, luxurious color of this Martini Italian Espresso Aniline Dyed Smooth Nubuck Top Grain Cow Leather Hide! The finest American steers and European Ox heifers provide the hides for this dark brown leather, tanned in Italy, to create a surprisingly supple and perfectly classic nubuck leather. Nubuck leather is buffed on the grain side to give it a velvety feel and, as this leather is dyed with aniline dyes to give it the most natural look, the buffed finish gives it a nap which causes the colors to change slightly depending on the angle (something to keep in mind while cutting pieces). As it is buttery-soft yet durable enough for use on everyday furniture, upholster couches and wing-back chairs, design accent pieces like ottomans and benches, or even dip into leather fashion pieces with oversized bags, backpacks, accessories, and accents on outerwear.Please Note:In addition to natural differences in grain between hides, aniline leathers are subject to mild color variations, giving each lot a unique look. Every effort will be made to fill orders for multiple hides from the same lot. The color fastness to rubbing of this leather is 50 Cycles Dry, ≥ 3 and 20 Cycles Wet, ≥ 3. This leather is compliant with California TB 117-2013.
