Made in a fourth-generation artisanal tannery on quality European hides, Rio Branco embodies the organic ruggedness of quality, old-world leathers. Rio Branco is treated with aniline dyes and paraffin wax to embrace and showcase the natural variations, markings, and unique characteristics of each hide. The Italian artisans go a step further, subtly blending a protective finish over the natural grain, making Rio Branco suitable for most applications. The perfect instrument for the discerning designer, Rio Branco will patina with gracefully, lightening and darkening, and become more beautiful with age and use.
Leather is a natural material and, if properly cared for, will maintain its beauty and usefulness for many years. Direct exposure to strong light can cause any leather color to fade, so always protect leather from direct sunlight and other intense light sources. It is also advised that leather products be kept away from radiators or other generators of heat. Should leather get marked or stained, please use only mild soap and water and first test a discrete area before treating the affected spot. Don't use saddle soap, cleaning solvents, oil, or abrasive cleaners.
