Rich, vibrant colors put this leather from New Zealand in a class of its

own. A unique finish created with a combination of oils and waxes

gives Absolute an almost “patent leather” look while a very light pull-

up creates additional depth and transparency within the clear finish.

ensures water and oil resistance. Featuring a palette inspired by the rich

A beautiful, naturally milled grain and saturated color palette make

Brighton the perfect choice for a soft, authentic leather. Tanned in

Thailand with a special tanning ingredient that imparts it with a soft

and supple feel, this leather exudes subtle elegance and luxury. Its

overall appearance is marked by a bold, natural grain that highlights

its rich saturated colors. Hides originate from the United Kingdom, are

heavier in weight (1.44MM-1.6MM) and will average 50 sq.ft. per hide.

Brighton is a pure aniline; despite a wax like feel, there is no wax or oil

pull up effect which allows the leather to provide a clean, modern look

when upholstered. There is a clear top coat that provides the leather

added depth and transparency, but Brighton should be considered

a pure aniline.
