Protected Grain Leathers
Protected grain leathers are subjected to a process that makes the surface smooth and resistant. These types of leather are easy to clean and are suitable for furnishing the busiest rooms in the home.
Corrected leather with a natural, lightly pigmented grain and an average thickness of 1.5 – 1.6 mm, resulting in a silken, plump feel. Being a natural grained leather,grain may be somehow irregular, bigger in some areas and smaller in others. For the same reason, typical signs of the animal’s life, such as healed scars, wrinkles and insect bites may be visible.
It is a buffed, pigmented and embossed leather, with a thickness of 1.3 – 1.5 mm. Its opaque look and plain color enhance a soft leather with a consistent touch. The presence of healed scars, grain variation, wrinkles, shade variations and veins are signs of absolute genuineness.
DaVinci is a lightly pre-pressed, natural-grained leather from the best farms outside Europe. With a thickness of 1.1 – 1.2 mm, it has a matt, textured effect and possesses all the advantages of ‘nubuck’ leather, in that it is has a beautiful velvety effect, but, thanks to its special and innovative processing technique, it does not possess what are commonly considered defects and does not absorb liquids or stains. This makes it very simple and easy to maintain with methods typical of pigmented leathers and, thanks to the aforementioned special processing, ‘DaVinci’ can better conceal typical leather defects, so that only small localised scars may be visible. A certain difference in colour tone is possible from one batch to the next. “Scratch effect” might be seen on this leather. In such cases, scratch-like marks tend to disappear by simply rubbing the area.

A distinguishing characteristic of this leather is its resistance to use over a long period of time. The presence of healed scarring, lining, veining and differences of color, tone and grain are signs of absolute genuineness.
It is a slightly buffed and pigmented leather, with a marked, though irregular grain, smaller in the middle areas and larger on the edges. It has got a soft-touch, shiny surface and a thickness that ranges from 1.1 to 1.2 mm. Its shiny look enhances the natural characteristics of the hide, such as healed scars and insect bites, thus making this leather unique.
It is a coarse-grainedbuffed leather coming from selected South American breeding, with an average thickness of 1.5 – 1.7 mm, which makes it soft, yet compact. Its surface is coarse-grained and has got a semi-opaque, irregular look; this means that the grain may differ on each single hide. Besides having an irregular grain, Orion’s surface may show signs of the animal’s life, such as healed scars.
