Santa Fe is a distressed aniline-dyed leather of choice Buffalo hides. Combining the beauty and rustic charm of distressed western themes with a suede like hand, this aniline leather has a kiss-buffed surface, the deep rich color contrast is achieved with a contrasting spray effect. Santa Fe has a very casual pre-worn surface appearance that is warm and inviting, enhanced by subtle variations in tone and intensity giving individual character to each piece. Santa Fe’s exciting visual effects are the result of marrying an elaborate tannage and an handcrafted buffing system, enhancing its traditional look and feel. Scratches and natural markings enhance the natural beauty of this leather, adding to its outdoorsy charm.
For cleaning gently dust the leather off or lightly wipe it off with a damp cloth.
