Leather dyed only with transparent dyes without covering the surface with pigments, preserving its natural texture
Leather colored only with transparent penetrating dyes without covering the pores and wrinkles of the raw hide surface with an artificial film. It is processed by selecting raw hides with minimal surface blemishes, leaving the leather's natural texture and touch intact. Because there is no separate protective coating layer, it feels soft, while being vulnerable to moisture and friction.

Because there is no artificial coating layer on the surface, pores, natural wrinkles, and fine scars are visible as they are. Unlike leather covered with opaque pigments, subtle tone differences appear depending on the color and grain of the raw hide, and the reflected light is not artificial.
When choosing
It has the characteristic that when water droplets are dropped onto it, they are absorbed slowly into the leather rather than being repelled. If there are no blemishes or pore marks on the surface at all and the color is perfectly uniform, you should check the product description to see if it is leather with a thick pigment finish or a semi-aniline grade.
Care
Because there is no protective surface film, contact with water, sweat, or oil can immediately penetrate into the leather and cause stains. When it gets wet, moisture should be removed by pressing lightly with a dry cloth rather than rubbing, and specialized leather care products should be used periodically to prevent dryness.
Additional information
- Semi-aniline leather
- Leather whose stain resistance has been improved by applying a thin protective coating or light pigment on the surface after aniline dyeing.
- Pigmented leather
