Collection: Leather Sofas & Sectional Sofas

Top grain leather sofas and sectional sofas are hypoallergenic, elegant in appearance and easy to maintain.

Hypoallergenic

• Allergy sufferers often do better with leather sofas
• Leather does not harbour dust mites and other allergens compared to fabric

Elegant in Appearance

• A leather sofa can lend a certain elegance to a room that is hard to replicate in fabric
• For contemporary or modern look, leather sofas appear sleeker and more high-end compared to most fabric sofas

Easy to Maintain

• Leather is very easy to clean requiring light dusting a couple of times a year
• If taken care of properly, leather is durable and can last for decades
• However, it needs to be conditioned consistently to prevent cracks and splits

All our sofas are made with top grain leathers, which we believe offers the best in terms of durability and affordability.

There are two different ways to name the type of leathers used in leather sofas on the market.

1 - Naming based on the layer of cow hide used to make the leather

• Full grain leather: Made from the outermost layer of the cow hide. Only cow hides that do not have excessive scars will be used for making full grain leather.
• Top grain leather: Made with the outer layer of cow hide. However, the outermost layer with scars are cut to get rid of imperfections.
• Split leather: Made from the lower layer of cow hide.
• Genuine leather: Leather made with any layer of cow hide can be called genuine leather. Confirm with the retailer exactly what it is before committing to a purchase.

In general, cow hides at the outer layers have tigher fiber weave and are more durable compared to inner layers. They are the layers that have to withstand against the elements.

If you are looking for a sofa that can last for 5 years or more, go for top grain leather or full grain leather sofas.

The difference between top grain leather and full grain leather is mostly in terms of availability of cow hide that can be used for making them. Knocks, scratches and mosquito bites that are hard to prevent can all cause scars to appear on the cow hide. These cow hides are not able to be used in full grain leathers. This scarcity causes full grain leathers to be more expensive than top grain leathers.

2 - Naming based on the type of dyes used for finishing

Finishing is used to give the leather a specific colour and shine. There are 3 common finishing types:

• Full aniline leather: Aniline dyes are translucent and water-soluble. This type of dye does not block out the natural markings, scars, and wrinkles in the hide. Because of this, only full grain leather is used to make full aniline leather.
• Semi aniline leather: Semi aniline leather applies an additional thin layer of oil based coating (pigment) on top of water solution aniline dyes. This makes the leather more scratch and stain resistant compared to full aniline leather. Both full grain leather or lightly scarred top grain leather can be used to make semi aniline leather.
• Pigmented leather: An oil based coating containing pigments are applied to the leather. This provides the leather with scratch and stain resistance. Pigmented leater is also the most widely used leather finishing process in the leather industry.

The downside of full aniline leather is that scratches are easy to happen.

If you are looking for a sofa that shows the cow hide in its most natural form, full aniline leather is the one to go for.

However, if ease of maintenance is an important consideration factor, go for leathers with pigmented or semi aniline finishing.
