Leather: a real natural product
The leather that Bree's New World uses for its design chairs, armchairs and sofas is natural leather, which means that there can be minimal deviations between the furniture. This is the charm of natural leather and indicates that the leather of your design furniture really comes from the skin of a cow. Natural 'imperfections' (scars, insect bites, horn blows, etc.) can occur to a greater or lesser extent in our leather and are not undeniable reasons for complaints. Due to the selective treatment, the aniline leathers usually contain more natural 'imperfections' compared to the covered leathers. Slight differences in color or gloss may also arise with subsequent orders due to, among other things, the influence of use, (day) light and composition of the color bath. Gogain, Kenya, Rancho and Silk are aniline leather. This type of leather is more sensitive to stains and can discolour quickly due to sunlight compared to cover-dyed leather types (Apollo, Toledo, Lucca). For more intensive use, the topcoated leather types (Apollo, Lucca and Toledo) are therefore better suited and easier to maintain. When choosing a specific leather color and type, we recommend that you always first view a physical sample book or furniture at one of our dealers or in our showroom.
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.
