Saddle Extra

Pelle Frau® Saddle Extra means dimensional stability and quality. It is 100% vegetable-tanned leather, tanned with natural tannins and using completely eco-friendly processes. Dyeing is carried out with aniline in drum, ensuring full-penetration coloration, while the surface finish is achieved through an exclusive and innovative process that improves light resistance while preserving the material’s natural character. The result is a vegetable-tanned leather with a unique character, which evolves in appearance over time without losing its natural beauty. Any small scars or surface irregularities bear witness to the authenticity of the material and its natural origin. The base is adult European cattle hide, processed using natural techniques and refined; moreover, the full-penetration dyeing helps limit damage caused by accidental scratches. Pelle Frau® Saddle Extra is light-stable and offers good stain resistance. However, due to its natural characteristics, it should not be exposed to direct light or heat sources. To preserve its quality over time, the use of the “Elisir di Lunga Vita” Care & Maintenance Kit is recommended.
