Soft Angel mineral-tanned hides ideal for equestrian creations and leather goods

Angel chocolate saddlery leather features :

It has a through-tone and is enhanced by its velvet-tinted flesh . This leather is exceptionally durable. It is a mineral-tanned leather. It is characterised by a high degree of suppleness, giving it a silky touch throughout its life, even under heavy stress. Its grip makes it comfortable to hold with the hand. It will absorb food perfectly throughout its life.
 
The only difference between Angel Hide and Angel Nubuck Hide is the slight sanding of the grain side. Both start from the same base: a full Angel Hide. For the Nubuck version, the grain side is lightly sanded—just enough to create a velvety surface while still showing the grain. This light sanding causes the original surface colour to fade, so the hide is returned to the barrel and re-dyed.

Care instructions for Angel chocolate hide :
Feeding the grain will nourish the areas between the pores of the hide and the pores themselves. Ultimately, it's the same process as feeding your hands when the hide is dry. Our Angel saddlery leather will resist moisture, so simply leave it to dry at room temperature to restore its appearance. Moistening Angel leather gives it greater elasticity and longevity, and Angel leather will shrink during the drying process without altering the suppleness of the hand.
