Sparks will fly when your sewing machine meets this Madeira Italian Charcoal Aniline Dyed Waxed Top Grain Cow Leather Hide! Drop everything now to incorporate a dark gray, worn-in material into your home decor and wardrobe. If you’re searching for unique leather with the look and feel of authentically aged fine furniture, this collection is undoubtedly the answer. This aniline-dyed top-grain leather is oiled or waxed so that, when pulled, the color migrates to achieve a perfectly distressed appearance. A final protective clear coat adds brilliant luster and additional durability, ensuring anything created with this antique-look leather lasts long enough to become an antique itself. Upholster tufted sofas, bar stools, and wing-back chairs, design durable and stylish handbags and briefcases, or create accessories and accents on outerwear. When creating bags, a lining is recommended to protect the more delicate suede-like back of the leather.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.
