VERONA is a Pure-Aniline leather that has enjoyed immediate success in the Australian market place.
VERONA does not have the same feel that one would expect from a Pure-Aniline. This is due to the fact that it is vacuum-dried, rather
than dried by the traditional oven method. Once in place VERONA takes on a supple, beautifully soft handle. The sheen, or gloss level
is caused by this method of drying as is the unusual appearance on the underside of the hide. When stretched the gloss level is
reduced thus giving an almost instant aged look. This is enhanced by the colour variation and the obvious presence of marks and
scratches that all combine to make this one of the more unusual leathers in the Contemporary Leathers collection.
VERONA is a leather that is ideally suited to both traditional and contemporary furniture having as it does a sophisticated rustic
appearance. Each hide is different in both the nature and extent of its natural markings and the colour variation that is synonymous
with Pure-Aniline leather.
