Dakar
Dakar embodies the essence of durability and timelessness in buffalo leather. This semi-aniline, pigmented leather is equally fitting for home and contract environments.
Expertly dyed-through in the drum using high-class dyes, Dakar leather showcases the finest qualities of the material. It undergoes a nappasoft mineral tanning process, and high-value fats are incorporated to give it a luxuriously soft feel, enhancing both its comfort and aesthetic appeal.
Dakar leather is sustainably sourced, originating from animals raised primarily for meat production, not for their hides. This approach not only exemplifies sustainable practices but also helps reduce the waste associated with meat production by repurposing the hides.
Each Dakar hide is distinct, leading to slight variations between hides and across production batches. The natural surface may exhibit markings like healed scars or insect bites. These are not flaws but unique features that add to the leather's natural beauty, telling the story of the animal's life.
The tactile experience of Dakar is both smooth and satisfying, with a pleasing aroma and a natural surface that exhibits a subtle pull-up effect. This means the leather is soft and adaptable, gradually developing its own character and color nuances. This creates a rustic appeal, ensuring that your Dakar piece is distinctively yours. Ideally suited for domestic settings, Dakar leather is perfect for those who appreciate a natural patina that evolves over time.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Gently remove dust particles with a soft, dry cloth.
Remove stains from the leather surface when they occur, by using a clean cloth, dampened in soapsuds of soapy water, followed by wiping off with a dry cloth.
Use professional leather cream/moisturizer to ensure a long lifetime of the leather. If the leather is exposed to harsh conditions for a long time it might crack.
Try to prevent exposure of the leather to direct sunlight, heaters, wet or rough objects for extended periods of time. These harsh conditions can damage the leather.
