Just bought a sofa from our Linara range? You’ve made a great choice. Whether you’ve chosen a spacious 4 seater, a corner sofa or a chair, you’re going to be relaxing in perfect comfort for years to come. 

The Linara is made from beautiful, textured natural leather. This comes in three options - pigmented, semi aniline or full aniline leather. 

Super durable and easy to clean, the pigmented version is the best choice for busy households, or if you like your leather to stay looking brand new. It has a heavy layer of protection applied that makes it more resilient to scratching and staining. 

If you opted for semi aniline, you can expect your leather to show a lot more character such as scratches and scars from the natural hide. More durable than untreated full aniline leather, this option does have a layer of protection applied that makes it more resilient to spills and stains, but it will still need to be carefully looked after. You can expect semi aniline leather to show some signs of aging - all part of the beauty of this type of lightly treated leather. 

Aniline leather will give you the warmest, softest and most luxurious feel. This type of leather is left untreated to expose the true, natural beauty of the raw hide. Anybody purchasing an aniline leather sofa can expect to discover lots of character on their leather. Any scratches, scars, tick marks or brand marks on the hide will be visible, making your piece of furniture beautifully unique. No two hides are ever the same and this will be evident on large sofas where multiple pieces of leather have been stitched together. This is all part of the beauty of aniline leather, and speaks to the authenticity of your product, Aniline leathers age gracefully, with the distressed look deepening over time. As this premium leather is so incredibly soft, it’s easily scratched and therefore unsuitable for homes with young children and pets. To give your aniline leather the care it needs and deserves, we recommend you invest in one of our specialist leather care kits. 

The Linara has seats filled with foam and a Dacron fibre top. This gives a firm but amazingly comfortable sit. You can expect your seats to ‘settle’ with normal, everyday use - this means that they should soften a little within the first few weeks. The backs are filled with super cosy fibre, which gives comfort like a hug when you lean back against it.
