This leather is a "tannery choice," meaning the hides have been carefully selected and therefore have very few defects. As a reminder, defect-free leather does not exist. Vegetable-tanned leather is a quality leather that does not hide the animal's life marks and develops a patina over time. With this type of leather, you need to judiciously place your patterns before cutting.

Characteristics of Angel leather:
Angel leather is soft leather for leather goods. Angel leather is a full-grain saddlery leather, unpressed, uncorrected, with visible grain. This leather benefits from an aniline finish that preserves the natural appearance of the leather as well as all the beauty of this material and maintains the uniqueness of each hide. It has a through-dyeing, meaning the dye penetrates to the core of the leather, and it is enhanced by a velvet-dyed flesh side. This leather has exceptional stretch. It is a mineral-tanned leather. It is distinguished by its high flexibility, giving it a silky feel throughout its life, even under strong tension. Running your hand over the grain is comfortable due to its grip, a tactile adhesion. It will perfectly absorb all nourishment throughout its life.

Angel leather care tips:
Pay particular attention to light exposure, which can alter the colors of your leather. Always dust your leather with a dry cloth before applying any specific treatment. In case of contact with water, let your leather dry naturally at room temperature, without any additional heat source.
For maintenance, nourishing the grain will re-nourish the areas between the skin's pores and the pores themselves. This is essentially the same process as when you moisturize your hands when your skin is dry. Angel saddlery leather will resist moisture; simply let it dry at room temperature for it to regain its appearance. Humidifying Angel leather provides more elasticity and stretch; Angel leather will shrink during drying without altering its hand and flexibility.
