Our Portia leather collection is 100% top grain cowhide leather, a stunning Italian full-grain leather that undergoes a specialized tanning process to give it a smooth grain and high-sheen finish. It is particularly suited for contemporary furniture designs given there are more fashion-forward colors within its comprehensive palette. It has all of the unique natural characteristics of shading that represent the beauty of full-grain leathers.
Remove dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Microfiber wipes should not be used as they degrease the surface. Minor staining can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution, blotted to release the stain and then blotted again with dry cloth. This should never be done heavily or in a scrubbing motion. Never use harsh cleaners or solvents, as they could abrade the finish or topcoat of the leather.
In case of heavily soiled leather surfaces, a gentle leather cleaner may be used. Please contact our customer service department for specific product recommendations and instructions. Never apply the cleaner directly onto the leather and always test the product first on a concealed area. Cleaners with chloride, solvents, polishing or chemical cleaning agents might harm the leather and shall thus not be used.
Do not use hair dryers, any saddle soaps, oils, abrasives, cleaners, furniture polish, varnish or ammonia water. The leather has already been permanently preserved in the tanning process and does not need maintenance other than the simple cleaning recommended.
