What will cause a fabric or leather to fade?
Any fabric or aniline dyed leather will fade from exposure to sunlight as well as exposure to heating sources. Try to keep your furniture out of direct sunlight and maintain at least two feet between your furniture and any heating sources. What is an aniline dyed leather and why would I want to purchase? Aniline dyed is the process of coloring leathers throughout using non-toxic aniline dyes. The dye is transparent and therefore allows all of nature’s signatures (insect bites, wrinkles, scars, or brands) to remain visible. Since there are no two human fingerprints identical, no two hides are identical. Each hide will have its own unique characteristics; therefore, healed scars, neck wrinkles, stretch marks or the like will appear throughout the piece of furniture and can result in shading throughout the hides.
