Is leather suitable for pets and children?
Yes, very much so, in fact in many cases its even better than fabric as a robust, family and pet friendly option for your home.
For the greatest durability, we recommend our Hobnail leather—a buttery-soft, semi-aniline leather that’s scratch-resistant and stain-resistant. It’s ideal for homes with kids and pets.
