Aniline leather is top grain leather that is coloured all the way through with a transparent dye. It is porous and has no surface coating. This type of leather is very sensitive and very hard to clean, which is why preventative care is strongly recommended.

Aniline leather which has not been sufficiently treated is porous. This means that any dirt and liquids that sink into the leather will resist superficial cleaning. Where the leather has absorbed dirt and stains please ask for advice first. Inadequate cleaning attempts may make the damage worse.
