Edelman Leather at Trammel Gagné

What is the craft of Leather? How does vintage leather furniture develop the well-loved patina that only comes with time? (hint: if you've owned a saddle you'll know.) Are these beautiful, artisan leathers compatible with modern family living, including kids & pets? (Yes! Have you met Stella?)

This presentation by Edelman Leather, hosted by Trammell Gagné show-room, Seattle Design Center, spoke to ethical sourcing & care for quality, to the historical art + technology guiding the creative process today.

This live "guide to the hide" educates trade professionals in directing clients to solutions most appropriate to their tastes & lifestyle, valuing the beauty & natural imperfections found in hand-crafted luxury leathers.

Key Take-aways:
Quality & performance: ALL leather is durable. Ethically sourced, Edelman accepts only 2% of all hides in Europe.

Edelman is known for full-grain leathers. Not all are. Ask your professional about full-grain vs. top grain only.

Aniline refers to dyed, natural hides that will patina over time. They 'wear in,' not out. Simple care: dust, treat stains with a drop of saddle soap on damp cloth & gently blot. Allow to air dry.

Semi-anilines refer to hides given a sealed finish in addition to color, combining wear resistance + beauty.
