Leather represents a large percentage of furniture sold today. It is more durable than fabric, so it lasts longer. Leather adjusts to body temperature making it very comfortable to sit on. Leather can be cleaned and cared for, and when done properly, maintains a high level of appearance throughout its life.
Leather can be made from the skin of any animal but in the furniture, auto, handbag and garment industry we are generally dealing with cows, sheep, goat, and pigs.
There are many different leather types but the main ones that you will hear mentioned are:
* Aniline style (including Pull up leathers)
* Semi-aniline
* Pigmented (protected, finished, coated)
* Nubuck or Suede
