What kind of processing is the 'semi-aniline' mentioned in the sofa leather description?
When looking at the leather options for wekino sofas, the description of semi-aniline processing appears repeatedly. You may wonder how it differs from regular leather in terms of the texture of natural leather or everyday care.
Semi-aniline is a processing method that preserves the leather's original grain while applying a thin protective film on the surface, achieving both a soft touch and practical durability.
In leather processing, aniline dyeing is a method where dye permeates the raw hide to naturally reveal its original pores and grain. Semi-aniline processing compensates for vulnerability to stains and discoloration by adding a thin layer of pigment or a clear coating on top of this. It is formulated to add durability so that everyday stains are easy to wipe off while maintaining the uniquely soft touch of natural leather.
This semi-aniline processing can also be found in the sofa leather options of WEKINO wekino. Glossy Black, Glossy Brown, and Glossy Camel, chosen under the Mastrotto leather option for 디드 슬림 소파 엔드 (가죽), use 0.9–1.1mm thick top grain semi-aniline European cowhide[1]. Solid Stone and Solid Cream, chosen under the CREST LEATHER GROUP leather option for 디드 슬림 소파 스툴 (가죽), are also European cowhides that have undergone semi-aniline treatment[2].
hmmm, semi-aniline leather serves as a balanced choice for those who want to keep the raw hide's original texture close by while easing the burden of daily maintenance.
The ingredients of the coating agents applied to each color option or the criteria for recommended leather-specific care products have not yet been confirmed in official materials.
