Leather: a real natural product
The leather that Bree's New World uses for its designer chairs, armchairs, and sofas is natural leather, which means there may be minimal variations between individual pieces of furniture. This is the charm of natural leather and indicates that the leather of your designer furniture truly originates from the hide of a cow. Natural 'imperfections' (scars, insect bites, horn marks, etc.) may occur to a greater or lesser extent in our leather and are not undeniable grounds for complaint. Due to the selective treatment, aniline leathers generally contain more natural 'imperfections' compared to coated leathers. Additionally, slight differences in color or sheen may occur upon reordering due to, among other things, the influence of use, (day)light, and the composition of the dye bath. Rancho and Silk are aniline leathers. This type of leather is more susceptible to stains and can discolor quickly due to sunlight compared to coated leathers (Apollo, Toledo, Lucca). For more intensive use, the pigmented leather types (Apollo, Lucca, and Toledo) are therefore better suited and also easier to maintain. When choosing a specific leather color and type, we recommend that you always first view a physical sample book or piece of furniture at one of our dealers or in our showroom.
Please note: in addition to weekly dusting with a dry, lint-free cloth, we recommend Keralux maintenance products - lcknederland.nl
Creasing and natural 'imperfections'
Inherent in the use of natural leather on seating furniture are creases and natural 'imperfections'. Crease formation cannot always be prevented due to the natural stretch in cowhide, which must be taken into account when upholstering. This is to avoid excessive pressure on the seams and thus prevent the risk of tearing. Natural 'imperfections' (scars, insect bites, horn bumps, neck folds, etc.) are part of the life of the cattle and can therefore occur to a greater or lesser extent in our leather. Due to the selective treatment, the aniline leather types usually contain more natural 'imperfections' compared to the covered leather types. The images below show various natural 'imperfections' that can occur to a greater or lesser extent in our leather and are therefore, like folding, not undeniable reasons for a complaint.
