With proper care, you can experience maximum enjoyment of our fine furniture.
- Rotate cushions every 30-60 days for even wear, depending on the amount of use. Remember to exercise polyfill bag by fluffing and redistributing the holofill evenly throughout.
- All leather will fade. To protect your leather, do not place it in any form of sunlight. Do not place your leather furniture near windows, under skylights or beneath similar forms of light. Keep medium to large windows closed when not home (even a few minutes a day will affect your leather). Open grain and aniline leathers are extremely sensitive to direct or indirect light.
- Add polyfill as needed - depending on your preference.
- All leathers perform better when preventative maintenance is practiced. Using a white luke-warm damp rag dust off arms, seats, and back pillows once a week.
- Use only World of Leather Furniture endorsed cleaning products on furniture. Take care not to place your furniture too near a radiator or similar heat source. Make sure there is at least 2 feet of space between your furniture and heat source.

Dyeing
|
The application of color either by spraying, hand rubbing or immersion. Embossing is a process in which design is added to leather by pressure to alter or correct he surface, resulting in uniform imitation grain. Splits are underlying layers of leather, usually used for suedes.
|

Tanning
|
Treating raw hides to reduce their perishability.
|
|
Finishing

Any post tanning treatment, such as dyeing, rolling, pressing, spraying, lacquering, antiquing, maxing, buffing, or glazing.
|
|
Full Grain
|
A term which indicates that leather possesses its original, natural grain; leather which has not been altered.
|
|
Top Grain
|
The top surface of the hide.
|
|
Grain
|
The distinctive pore and wrinkle pattern of a hide; may be either natural or embossed. Graining, like human fingerprints, is unique to each individual hide, and is the hallmark of quality full-grain leather hides.
|
|
Scars
|
These form usually as a result of barbed wire damage, the horns of other cattle, and other variations in grain pattern that occur during the life of the animal.
|
|
Stretch Marks
|
Stretch marks appear in cowhide for the same reasons they do in humans. The process of calving requires the streching of the skin to accommodate the new calf. Nothing could be more natural.
|
|
Semi-Anline
|
Sometimes called "Aniline Plus", these leathers are first drum dyed in penetrating aniline dyes. Then a thin matching topcoat is applied to even out the color of the hide surface. The topcoat also serves to protect against fading and stains. Semi-Aniline leathers are available in hundreds of colors. They retain most of the softness of their aniline dyed cousins because the natural top grain is left intact. A much larger proportion of the world hide supply is suitable for this class of leathers and as a result are more moderately priced.
|
|
Shade Variations
|
No two hides are alike and due to the varying grain structure, the dyes and finishes penetrate to differing degrees in different parts of the hide to give an attractive variation. While every attempt is made to achieve uniformity this is not always possible.
|
|
Aniline Dyed (an-a-line)
|
Lovers of truly natural products are particularly fond of these leathers: their buttery, glove-soft texture add an extra dimension of comfort to your sofa or chair. To create this luxurious softness and their rich gem like colors, aniline dyed leathers are tumbled for up to 12 hours in drums containing transparent dyes. These dyes enhance the subtle textural and color variations of each hide. Through the years, aniline dyed leather develops a distinctive patina which adds to its value as a focal point in your home.
|
|
Corrected Grain Leathers
|
Many hides are marred by naturally occurring imperfections. Insect bites, barbed wire scars, scrapes and other defects make them unsuitable for your home. To remove these imperfections, corrected grain leathers are first sanded or buffed, then embossed to restore a natural-looking grain.
