Leather Restoration - Put the Colour Back into Faded Leather

Aniline leather does not have the protective coating that 'pigmented' leather has. This type of leather could be described as porous as it does not have the lacquer finish and therefore has a high absorbency rate. This leather is prone to fading especially if kept in direct sunlight. Even cleaning using the wrong products can remove the color. It is important to understand the type of leather you are dealing with before attempting any maintenance procedures.

Aniline leather in particular is difficult to clean but there are ways to improve its appearance if its looking rather dull and lifeless. We transform your aniline leather furniture by applying colour to faded 'white' areas, working the colour throughout. Aniline restoration is a process to infuse the colour back into leather.

To revitalise worn, faded, sunbleached leather, we mix special coloured dyes until we reach the desired result. We test the mix by applying to a discreet area e.g under a cushion or on the rear of the item. Following the colour infusion process we apply a protector which seals in the colour and prolongs the life of your leather.
