What is Saffiano Leather?

For any bag lover, leather connoisseur, or those who work within the industry, it is well known that there is a lot of terminology associated with the profession. However, when it comes to buying a leather product, all you need to know is a little bit about leather types and textures. This is where we come in! A part of our expertise here at SageBrown is our product knowledge. We can tell you what you want and need to know, ensuring that all our customers leave feeling confident and happy with the products they have purchased. Over the course of this blog, we will be looking at Saffiano-textured leather, what it is, why it is becoming an increasingly popular style and how to look after it.

What is Saffiano?

Not to be confused with being a type of leather, Saffiano is the texture embossed onto a leather hide. It is recognised by its criss-cross appearance and mildly grainy feel. Originating from a tannery in Italy, Saffiano gets its name from the criss-cross print that is pressed into the wax which coats the leather.

 

 

If we magnify this image of our Flat Leather Credit Card Wallet, you can see the criss-cross saffiano texture we have embossed into the calf leather. Whilst keeping the design of the card holder both sleek and stylish, the design of saffiano texture allows for durability and stain resistance. With the saffiano texture you are provided with a hallmark of quality and guarantee that a product will last for years! Owing to this, this particular style of leather is becoming increasingly popular in the fashion and leather industry, as consumers are drawn in by its elegant and seek appearance alongside its durability.

Saffiano Leather Care

Regular care of luxury leather products by SageBrown ensures that your leather items will age gracefully and last a lifetime. Our collection is made to the very highest quality, beautifully designed and superbly executed. As leather is a natural product, it is strong, durable, and tactile and like skin it breathes and stretches.

Saffiano-textured leather is very good at looking after itself, but there are ways you can look after it which will extend its wear:

  • It is recommended that any bag/leather product that isn’t used daily should be kept protected in its dust cloth pouch, to prevent any unwanted scratches or colour fading.

  • Although water resilient, saffiano textured leather products are not 100% waterproof. Should your product get wet, gently wipe away any water on the surface with a dry, clean cloth and leave the product to dry naturally. If your product gets dirty as well as wet, allow it to dry fully before attempting to remove any dirt.

  • When cleaning the leather, do not rub the leather too hard, as this can lead to discolouration. Only use recommended leather cleaning products or a damp clean cloth with water only.

  • Don’t leave your bag in direct sunlight for a long period of time as this can result in the colour fading.
