What Is Aniline Leather
Aniline leather is a high/quality product. Aniline actually refers to the dyes that are used in making the final product, once the hide is tanned. It is a special treatment process used on the fine Napa hides. This process makes it stand out among the many kinds of leather.

Quality
During the aniline dyeing process, the leather is not uniform in colour throughout due to the different rates of absorption from area to area. This is a testament to the genuineness of the leather finish and adds to the beauty of the finish. Because aniline dyeing is only suited for the highest-quality hides, aniline leather is highly sought-after. The aniline dye, mixed with oils, soaks into the leather, giving it added softness and a rich look.

Appearance
Aniline leather shows all the natural markings of the animal’s growth, as well as scars, wrinkles and other blemishes. Semi-aniline leather does not show the natural markings as clearly, and the leather is slightly stiffer and cooler to the touch. Aniline leather will have more natural colours, derived from the colouration of the animal’s skin.
