It combines the best of two leather worlds: it is as soft and grippy as pure aniline and yet provides a certain degree of protection against stains and liquids thanks to its wafer-thin colour top layer. The light layer of colour does not cover the skin pores and the natural grain pattern, but only slightly protects them.
Semi aniline leather therefore represents "the golden mean" between the natural, very soft but also sensitive pure aniline leather and the somewhat stiffer, easy-care pigmented leather.
It is almost natural, but its light colour top layer offers a certain degree of protection against stains and soiling in everyday use.
