THE MG+BW GUIDE TO
Choosing the Right Leather
We know good leather. Crafted from the highest tier of top-grain and full-grain Italian leathers, our heirloom-quality leather upholstery has been a core part of who we are since we handcrafted our first club chair in 1989. When choosing the right leather for your furniture, consider not only appearance but also how texture, durability and use fit into your style of living. As a natural material that can be treated to create an array of distinctive looks, each of our leathers holds its own unique character and qualities.
FAMILY & PET-FRIENDLY
Leather is durable, whether it’s a pigmented leather that will resist scratches, staining and fading, or a full-aniline where natural use helps to develop a beautiful patina.
TRIPLE THE LIFESPAN
A true heirloom material, leather is often three or four times as durable as fabric. Investing in leather furniture means choosing something you’ll love for a long time.
EASY TO CARE FOR
Leather isn’t a fussy material—dusting and occasional conditioning will keep your leather furniture beautiful and comfortable for years.
FULL-ANILINE LEATHER
Unique & Natural Character
The most natural looking leather, full-aniline leather retains the unique physical characteristics of the hide. Color is achieved by immersing hides in transparent, nontoxic dyes. Full-aniline leather does not receive any surface pigment. While this type of leather may have less surface protection than semi-aniline and pigmented leathers, it is softer, and will develop a lustrous patina over time.
SEMI-ANILINE LEATHER
Softer, More Even Texture
Semi-aniline leather includes a small amount of pigmented dye. The addition of the dye offers a more uniform appearance, while still allowing the natural characteristics to come through as well as adding a thin layer of protection.
PIGMENTED LEATHER
Smooth with Uniform Color
A pigmented color coating on the leather hide provides a more uniform appearance and obscures imperfections. While this type of surface coating increases durability and resistance to staining and fading, pigmented leather does not develop a rich patina over time.
NUBUCK
Smooth, Lightly Buffed Finish
Nubuck is a top grain, aniline leather with a nubuck finish. Nubuck offers a soft, velvety hand. A treatment has been added during the tanning process to impart water repellency properties.
VEGAN LEATHER
Soft & Supple with Rich Color
Inherently water and stain resistant, vegan leather offers an attractive alternative to traditional leather with the same luxurious look and feel, alongside rich color and a unique texture.

Leather Care & Cleaning
To maintain the natural beauty of your leather, simply dry-dust or vacuum. For suede and nubuck, supplement vacuuming with a soft suede brush.
• Leather spills: Dab immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Longer set spills: Use lukewarm distilled water and a soft white cloth to massage stain and surrounding area. Blot dry.
• Nubuck or suede spills: Follow the above steps, then massage with a suede brush to restore the nap.
