Things to know in advance about leather: the construction of leather is going to be about double that of other materials for a few reasons: 1) it requires not just an industrial sewing machine, but one that works with leather, the standard industrial machine will not handle working with leather upholstery; and 2) leather is unforgiving, therefore it must be worked with slowly and methodically. Once it is pierced it cannot be undone, the hole shows forever therefore it takes precision and exacting and 3) leather itself is expensive but also since it does not come by the yard but is on a hide, the sizing is odd and therefore there is much more waste, especially with larger projects like cushions.

For an estimate, please send me the following:

A) exact cushion measurements including width, length and thickness of each cushion and number of each cushion (if cushions are not rectangular please provide a photo)

B) Depending on the size of your cushion or cushions your leather piece may need to be seamed together. Decorative seams are very common as you cannot always get large pieces of leather of the same hide. If this is the case I will make you aware of it and give you options.

C) if you would like piping or stitching on your cushion

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Leather Care

Never use detergents, polishes, preservers or saddle soap. They can remove natural oils.
Dust or vacuum for routine maintenance.
Do not place in direct sunlight; it will lighten or discolor leather over time.
Dab spills immediately with a soft white cloth dampened in a water solution (3 parts water, 1 part gentle soap). If spill penetrates leather, use lukewarm water and a soft white cloth to massage stain and surrounding area. Blot with a dry cloth and allow leather to air dry.
Most surface scratches will fade over time if you rub them with your fingertips. Friction and heat from rubbing helps to redistribute wax in surrounding areas to cover the scratch. Not all scratches have the same depth, and this may not work on deeper scratches.

Composition & Construction

Our leather products are constructed from semi-aniline leather. The full-grain or top-grain leathers are soaked in transparent non-toxic dye, with no subsequent pigmented finish coats applied. Dye penetrates the hides, letting the natural grain show through.
Semi-aniline have natural markings that vary from hide to hide. They also have color variations due to the leather’s ability to accept dyes differently in various areas of a hide. Markings and shading distinguish genuine leather from man-made materials. Appreciating shade differences among hides also means appreciating them on individual furniture pieces, because no two pieces can be produced from a single hide.
Our leathers appeal to customers who find the natural color variations, markings and patina of pure aniline leathers unique and beautiful. They may not appeal to customers who want uniform color and surface commonly seen on less expensive leathers that are heavily corrected and pigmented.
