Description
Chiaro is a high-sheen aniline leather with tremendous clarity and depth. It has both oil and wax treatments, making the stain and wear performance strong for an aniline leather. As with all aniline dyed leathers, color will vary across the hide and from hide to hide. Chiaro showcases, rather than hides, the natural characteristics that make each piece made from this organic product unique. Made in Italy from European hides, Chiaro is a beautiful leather for a wide range of applications and is offered in 19 fashion-forward colors.
