Are black spots or reddish stains on the surface of 'semi-aniline' leather furniture descriptions considered defects?
When looking to purchase new leather furniture, you may want to check whether notice of black spots and reddish stains written in the fabric description indicates a finishing defect.
Black spots or reddish stains caused by quartz powder used to create three-dimensional colors in semi-aniline processing are classified as normal traces of production and are not eligible for exchanges or refunds.
SEMI ANILINE processing is a method that brings out the leather's inherent grain while adding color and durability with a thin protective film and pigment.
Fine black spots or reddish stains that appear on JACKSON CHAMELEON's semi-aniline leather occur during the process of using quartz powder to create deep, two-tone colors[1]. This is a natural phenomenon occurring in the production process and is not considered a defect of the product[2].
Original scars, insect bite marks, wrinkles, and birthmarks on the natural hide are also unique grains characteristic of genuine leather that has not been covered with a thick coating[3]. Because JACKSON CHAMELEON does not acknowledge stains from this dyeing process, original traces of natural leather, or temporary pressure marks from delivery as defects, you cannot apply for after-sales service, replacement, or a refund for them[4][5].
Care methods that can alleviate black spots or stains appearing on the surface of semi-aniline leather have not yet been confirmed.
