Description
As much as any leather, Athene embodies Italian design and color acumen. A fine aniline leather with exceptional color depth, Athene features a smooth, glossy finish distinguished by its unique micro-crackle distress that is stylish and inviting. When stretched, the leather subtly lightens to display multiple hues and the natural characteristics that mark truly authentic leathers. Italian designers continually add fresh, bright colors to this impressive color line. Finished with a protective topcoat, Athene is a versatile choice for a broad variety of applications.
