Pelle Frau® Velvety

A leather with a sensual softness that evokes the tactile sensations of velvet. Pelle Frau® Velvety leather is the first nubuck made by Poltrona Frau, obtained with an accurate and delicate process of sanding the grain. It is a top-quality leather, tanned without chromium and dyed with aniline, thanks to the strict selection of the raw material: about 10% of the finest leathers of European origin, with a very few imperfections.
The silky depth of the colour and the incomparable softness are achieved through a double process of sanding and barrel dyeing of the grain. The result is an intense and mellow colour and a lightly shiny surface.
It is a nubuck with a high "chalkboard effect", which creates chromatic shades when caressed. Designed for leather lovers, who know how to appreciate its authenticity and the natural patina of time and who know how to take care of it.
Pelle Frau® Velvety leather is available in seven colours, designed to match tone-on-tone with the 73 colours of Colorsphere®. For unusual combinations with Pelle Frau® SC leather, creating unexpected tactile and chromatic contrasts.

Pelle Frau® Velvety

• Due to its character of full aniline leather without protection, Pelle Frau® Velvety 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.
