Winter '14 Launch

We are excited to introduce our Winter ’14 Launch of new articles and colors. Join us in a celebration of these beautiful and timeless leathers.

Dresden – Marked by its luxurious, supple hand and beautifully pronounced grain, Dresden captures the essence of understated elegance. Crafted from pristine hides by a family-run tannery in Southern Germany whose operations span generations, it features a soothing and serene color palette that showcases the premium quality of the hides and remarkable attention to detail that goes into every step of the tanning process. Averaging 60 square feet in size, these hides are skillfully prepared to provide excellent cutting yields, making Dresden a versatile option for a range of upholstery applications.

Ragtime – Inspired by a beautifully distressed leather found on a pair of vintage Parisian club chairs, Ragtime is our answer to repeated requests from designers for a leather collection with an authentic, worn-in aesthetic. Crafted in Northern Italy from belting leather used by some of Europe’s finest fashion houses, its richly layered texture is complemented by a surprisingly soft hand that will continue to mellow and soften over time.  Available in a range of classic colorways, this anything-but-ordinary leather will conjure up a mood of timeworn elegance in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Hides will average 20-22 square feet.

Diablo – Designed in Italy by a fifth-generation tannery, Diablo is marked by rich transparencies throughout the hide that evoke the elegant aesthetic of calfskin.  Its luxurious look and feel is achieved through a vacuuming process that shrinks the leather to provide a smooth, polished surface that will continue to burnish and polish with wear, growing more beautiful with age. A sumptuous and sophisticated leather with an understated color palette, it offers the ultimate in refinement for today’s more tailored interiors.  Hides will average 50 square feet.

Raven – Timeless and tastefully sleek, Raven was designed with the demands of today’s modern lifestyle in mind.  A light finish makes it refreshingly low maintenance, enhancing its performance in high traffic areas and ensuring ease of cleanability. Available in an extensive range of dynamic colors, it features a slight polish and light pull-up that further enhance its visual appeal. Hides will average 50 square feet.

Himalaya – Evoke an air of the exotic with our Himalaya Collection. Ultra-luxurious and full of body, its lustrous strands are silk-like to the touch.  Designed in Spain, this lush and decadently soft shearling is available in six of spring’s most sought after colors.  Available in 2’x4′ panels.

Flourish – This boldly romantic and ornate embossing brings dazzle and drama to our Satin Suede collection. Reminiscent of the scrolls and flourishes in old world calligraphy, it cascades across the hide in rhythmic form. The depth of the embossing creates rich highs and lows while complimenting the suede’s soft hand. Available in any one of our 45 colors of Satin Suede, it will work beautifully as a decorative element on its own or in combination with our Satin Suede. Hides will average 22 square feet.
