Our Charger Whole Upholstery Hides are a full grain pull up leather, finished with a soft wax. This means that when the leather is stretched or tensioned, the base colour of the skin “pulls up” resulting in a distressed / antique effect. Ideal if you’re looking to give your furniture and leather goods that sought after vintage look.

Charger is flame proofed to the PK contract standard Crib5, making it suitable for use in contract applications.

Thickness 0.9/1.0 mm. Charger is available in 23 colours.

To create the striking finish of this leather, a metallic foil is put on to full grain cow sides. The foil adheres to the leather, creating a shiny, mirror like finish whilst also allowing the natural surface grain to show through. A protective lacquer coating is then applied to ensure a robust and durable finish.

This leather is suitable for a wide range of applications including: Garments, Clothing & Fashion Trim, Shoes, Boots, Sandals, Bracelets, Purses and Hand-Bags.

Average size: 19-25sqft. Thickness:1.6-1.8mm
