There are three different categories of leather based on surface texture and how the leather reacts to actual everyday use: pure aniline leather, semi-aniline leather (slightly pigmented leather) and covered leather (pigmented leather). Our Leather Collection is particularly versatile and offers a wide variety of qualities in all three categories. 

This is just a preconceived idea due to a single kind of leather that does in fact feel a little colder the first time you touch it. It is called pigmented leather and its surface is refined with additional dye pigments. That gives it a uniform look and makes the leather less sensitive. However, this procedure also closes the individual leather pores. It's a little like applying make-up. Breathing activity is reduced. Air exchange with the surroundings is more difficult. And that's why the temperature adjustment (e.g., when you put your hand on the leather) takes a little bit longer. In contrast, pure aniline leather with its completely open pores warms up immediately.
