Velveteen is made from South American bull hides. Velvets, often regarded as one of the most sophisticated materials known and frequently used by royalty, were the inspiration behind the creation of Velveteen. By marrying the properties of leather with the look and feel of velvet a new groundbreaking leather was crafted. Perfected by Italian leather technicians this leather has the beauty, look, and feel of velvet with the durability of a protected medium weight leather. The leather is tumbled to bring out the velvet like look and feel as well to maximize its softness.
For cleaning use damp cloth with a mild soap or leather cleaner.
