Newcastle Leather

Product Description

Newcastle is a top grain, pur aniline leather finished with a blend of oils to achieve a pull-up effect and a glossy finish. Newcastle comes into its own when used on tightly upholstered applications as the colours change on the furniture creating a classic 'old saddle' appearance. Healed scars, scratches, neck and belly wrinkles will be apparent throughout these hides. Since Newcastle is pure aniline leather, hides will fade in prolonged sunlight. It comes in 7 colours and has a thickness of between 0.9- 1.1mm
The price below is for a full hide of approx 5.2 square meters
Please note that samples are available as colours vary greatly on screens and when printed.
