Chances are, if you’ve ever had the pleasure of taking a seat on an authentic, Italian crafted, 100% natural leather sofa, you’ll already know what all the fuss is about. But, if you’re in any doubt about why we choose Italian design and craftsmanship for so many of our beautiful Italian leather sofa ranges, we’re here to let you in on what makes these sofas stand out from the crowd.
Why Italy?
Whether you want a new leather jacket, a designer leather handbag or a statement leather sofa, if you want the very best, you’ll need to look no further than Italy. The country’s reputation for their ability to produce the world’s finest leather is well known and well founded.
Consider the rich history of Italian leather in the fashion industry. Often favoured by the most exclusive designers, Italian style, craftsmanship and products are always in vogue, and always in demand.
It makes sense, therefore, to turn to Italian expertise to help us create stunning, timeless furniture for your home. Your sofa is the centrepiece of your living room, and the heart of your home, and an Italian leather sofa offers the very best in every respect.
What makes it the best?
Although we only ever use 100% natural leather on every part of every sofa, some leathers are more premium than others. The leather chosen by our Italian craftsmen comes from only the softest, warmest hides. Full of natural character, you can expect this leather to be marked with the rich history of the animal’s life. From scratches and tick bites to brand marks, every blemish on the natural hide enhances the leather, creating a beautiful, rich, authentic heritage that can never be replicated by any type of leather substitute or replacement.
With no two hides ever the same, you can rest assured that when you purchase a natural Italian leather sofa, your piece of furniture will be completely unique and one of a kind. The untreated leather is second to none for its warmth and softness and will give a distressed, lived-in look. As this leather is so easy to scratch, scuff and mark, the lived-in look will become richer and deepen as the furniture ages, resulting in an exquisite, designer look piece of furniture.
It should be noted that this level of beauty and sumptuous softness does make this type of leather unsuitable for homes with young children and pets. Although designed to look weathered, an Italian leather sofa needs a little extra care and regular conditioning to stay supple.
