Pelle Frau® Nubuck Tribal

Created specifically for the capsule collection by Ozwald Boateng, Pelle Frau® Nubuck Tribal is a covering with splendid colors and embossed pattern that enhances the original graphics of the British designer of Ghanaian origin. The leather printing process is indeed industrial, but entirely done by hand. The development of the technique was particularly complex but allowed to best render the designs inspired by African tradition that characterize Boateng's work.

Pelle Frau® Nubuck Tribal

Created specifically for the capsule collection by Ozwald Boateng, Pelle Frau® Nubuck Tribal is a covering with splendid colors and embossed pattern that enhances the original graphics of the British designer of Ghanaian origin. The leather printing process is indeed industrial, but entirely done by hand. The development of the technique was particularly complex but allowed to best render the designs inspired by African tradition that characterize Boateng's work. Pelle Frau® Nubuck Tribal stands out for the refinement of the embossed texture, which gives the leather a unique effect. A result that brings the attention to detail typical of English haute couture into the world of furnishings.

Care and maintenance

• Due to its character of full aniline leather without protection, Pelle Frau® Nubuck Tribal easily absorbs liquid substances of any type and the coloring materials present in fabrics that may come into contact with it. Cleaning can limit the damage but not completely remove it.

• Remove immediately any stain by absorbing it with a soft, slightly damp white cotton or linen cloth and dry avoiding hair dryer and sun.

• Dust the product frequently with a semi-rigid brush.

• Avoid alcohol or other solvents that may be aggressive.

• Do not place the product near heat sources, near light sources (windows) or direct light sources (spotlights), keeping the product at a minimum distance of 20-30 cm. Avoid direct sunlight.

• For cleaning use the Elisir di Lunga Vita Pelle Frau® Velvety kit. Generic products could cause harm.

• In case of stains, use the Velvety Stain Eraser Cloth and the Powder Degreaser. The Velvety Stain Eraser Cloth is a cloth with exceptional characteristics able to remove stains and dirt settled on nubuck leather; the Powder Degreaser is a degreaser capable of removing sebum, animal fat, oil and food stains. The Powder Degreaser should be left to act for 6-8 hours. Once this time has elapsed, vacuum the area with a vacuum cleaner and then gently brush to remove the dust completely. For more stubborn stains, it may be necessary to repeat the operation.

• Dust the product frequently with a white non-abrasive cotton or linen cloth.
