What is semi-aniline leather?

Our garment leather is what's known as semi-aniline leather. This means it receives a light pigmentation – a thin layer of color that protects the leather without covering its natural surface. The grain remains largely untreated, and the pores stay open.

This type of coating is ideal for protecting the leather from moisture, dirt, and abrasion – which makes perfect sense for garments that are worn regularly and subject to everyday use.

Unlike fully pigmented or heavily coated leathers, the natural character of the hide remains visible. Every wrinkle, pore, and subtle irregularity tells a story about the animal and brings the material to life.

Our finish is made from water-based components and is free from harmful substances. It protects the leather without sealing it – keeping it breathable, soft, and skin-friendly.

A good finish isn’t a compromise on naturalness – it’s what makes sure leather clothing stays beautiful over time, even when worn as it’s meant to be: close to the body, in daily life.
