Congratulations, you have just purchased a product made of Presot® slow
vegetable-tanned hide.
Choosing a product made of this type of hide means owning an item that expresses a
philosophy and a lifestyle that are unique and exclusive. Tannins give entirely
vegetable-tanned hide its special golden colour, which is so characteristic that it has its
own Pantone colour code. For operators in the sector, the Presot® colour is a well-known
aspect that refers to the specific features of uniqueness and distinctiveness. The same
"smell of hide" is something original and characterised by an unmistakable sensation.
Vegetable-tanned hide perfectly expresses the naturalness of leather because it has no
covering finishes. Its appearance constantly changes, since the signs of everyday life
remain pleasantly impressed, giving each "butt" its precious uniqueness. The colours of the
tannins used in the tanning process tend to re-emerge over time, depending on the shades
that are employed for its specific uses.
Therefore, there is not much point in giving advice for maintenance, since even the grease
on the skin of your fingers may leave its indelible mark on the chair, nonetheless, we would
like to give you a few tips:
- Do not use damp cloths because there is a risk of increasing the degradation processes of
the hide and of irreversibly darkening it. Products used for consolidating and rehydrating
may also darken it.
- Please note that more frequent use of the same chair will cause it to wear more than
others.
- A good precaution is always to try out a cleaning product or method on a hidden corner of
the chair.
- It is advisable to keep the product away from direct sources of heat - such as radiators or
fireplaces - and sources of light - such as windows - since they may considerably alter the
colour of the hide.
- For liquid stains, it is essential, when possible, to promptly clean with an absorbent cloth,
being careful not to spread the stain but to reduce it as far as possible, with movements
from the outer part of the stain to the centre. For grease stains, such as chocolate, jam,
lipstick, etc., any excess should be promptly removed with a non-abrasive object, for
example, a teaspoon, always taking care not to spread the stain but to reduce it as far as
possible, with movements from the outer part of the stain to the centre.
Marks that denote quality
The presence of wrinkles and minor defects (scars, stains and streaks) guarantees the
naturalness of the product.
Any scars left by cuts during the flaying process of hide are visible, as well as any traces of
folding of the hide in barrels, or any marks left by wrinkles around the collar.
Each mark on Presot® hide tells a unique and beautiful story and should be accepted,
better still appreciated.
