Gaucho is a pure aniline leather from hand-selected North European hides. The hallmark of this leather is the feel, the suppleness and the softness. Gaucho is best suited for the very best in home furnishings. It is unsurpassed in touch. Subtle variations in tone and intensity are completely natural and give each piece its individual character. Gaucho is buttery soft, and has a very smooth surface. Only a precise sophisticated tannage by Italian leather artisans made it possible to create skin soft leather like the Gaucho. The drape of the leather lends itself to all applications traditional or contemporary. Visible insect-bites, wrinkles and scars from healed wounds as well as color variations throughout each hide add to the elegant charm and beauty of this unique leather, a product made for the consumer that appreciates the purest characteristics of leather.
For cleaning gently dust the leather off or lightly wipe it off with a damp cloth.
