Venus is an Italian made leather from choice European cattle distinguished with a classical metallic finish and a modern color line. The hides are altered with a cloud like effect and topped with a glaze finish. This cloud like effect will exhibit varying shades of dark and light areas over the hides giving this leather more depth than most other metallic leathers. This leather has a very modern appearance making it an instant classic. Visible insect-bites and scars from healed wounds add to the elegant character of the leather.
For cleaning use damp cloth with a mild soap or leather cleaner.
