Rather than wearing out, it will develop a patina overtime, ageing with grace and beauty. Raft offers leathers in semi and full aniline. There is a small difference between our full grain aniline and semi-aniline hides. Aniline hides are not coated allowing the natural markings to remain visible, it also enables the leather to ‘breathe’ easily and is comfortable in both hot and cold environments.
