Being a natural product, some of our hides will have some marks, natural defects and occasionally small holes. Some hides will also vary in curl and thickness because no two hides are the same. For orders of more than 1 quantity, we select matching and consistent hides from the batch. We do not edit our images to try to show the products in their true form.
The reproduction of colours is as accurate as photographic and publishing processes will allow, we endeavour to show an accurate indication of the tone.
It is advisable to test the level of colour fastness of the leather you are intending to use in order to ensure it is suitable for its end use as we cannot accept any liability for colour transfer onto other materials.

By means of a careful selection we have, together with our associates in Australia, developed a product which, in a unique manner, is well suited to furniture upholstery and home furnishing. An Australian sheepskin which, with its special properties, contributes towards achieving a very high level of comfort.
The skin is curly by nature, but the structure of the wool can vary both with regard to curls and colour tone. Sheepskin is extremely hardwearing and offers a range of possibilities and areas of application. Each skin is unique, which makes the material extra interesting to work with. The wool’s ability to absorb moisture leads to reduced friction, among other things. A further advantage is that the wool does not attract dust or dirt to itself, in contrast with synthetic materials. It is easy to keep clean and can be cleaned by hand or by machine.

In order to preserve the original condition of your sheepskin, vacuum clean and air regularly. Spots should be immediately soaked with water. Clean with a sponge, lukewarm water and a mild wool shampoo.
Avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight as colour changes in the wool may occur.
