Planning your next project? If inspiration is lacking – or if you simply need a steer when it comes to selecting the colours and textures that will bring your client’s space to life – we have just the thing.
Today on the Nene Valley Leather blog, we’re offering a closer look at our most popular leather ranges (and some of the individual shades within each collection). Read on…
Antique Wine
A distinctive choice, our Antique Wine shade (a key shade within our ‘Antique’ range) is a firm favourite of our customers.
A deep, rich red that brings warmth to traditional spaces, this is an aniline leather that carries more natural character than some leather choices.
When used well, it’s instantly recognisable by all – especially amongst discerning leather fans who love spaces that wouldn’t look out of place in, say, a stately home.
A traditional, ‘rub off’ leather, Antique Wine is most commonly used to upholster classic pieces like Chesterfield sofas: pieces that offer that aged, or ‘worn’ aesthetic that many covet.
The post-upholstery process really brings this leather – just another in our vast range of sustainable leathers – to life. The finishing stage seals the leather’s surface and ensures it perfectly complements traditional interiors.
Even though it sits at a more accessible price point, when compared to other leathers within our overall range, there is no compromise at play here. Delivering on both appearance and performance regardless of its remarkably reasonable price tag, it’s widely used across residential projects as well as contract and hospitality settings.
This wholesale leather also works well when used for deep buttoned upholstery, where the highs and lows of the leather are evident.

El Paso Cognac
An extremely easy leather to work with, El Paso Cognac is ideal for use across a range of different spaces.
With a warm, inviting aesthetic that complements both modern and classic interiors, like our Antique Wine leather, it can also be used well across residential, contract and design projects.
Our customers tend to choose this stunning, sustainable leather when their goal is to create something that feels comfortable and ‘lived in’ without being overly rustic – you may even have a project in mind that fits this very brief?
The Cognac shade, in particular, offers a gorgeous, natural warmth that works well with wood, metal and softer furnishings, making this a safe choice for designers who want flexibility and character from their chosen leather.

Florence
If you’re looking for a reliable and consistent leather range, you’ve found it in our Florence range.
With a corrected grain, this solid-colour pigmented leather has a surface which has been refined to give a clean, uniform finish. It also has a durable coating – ideal to protect against everyday wear like scratching and soiling.
As its name would suggest, this leather range is both stylish and contemporary. Ideal for high traffic environments too, you can use it well across domestic upholstery, but also in contract, hospitality and even marine settings (where durability really matters).
It’s popular in automotive applications for the same reason. Go on, picture this stunning range inside a car – classic or otherwise – and you won’t want to imagine it having been upholstered with anything else. Stunning to the touch and great to look at, it really is a great choice.
It’s also a safe and dependable option from both a manufacturer’s and specifier’s point of view. Offering a consistent finish across larger production runs, it holds up well over time and is easy to maintain.
When performance is just as important as appearance, this could well be your go-to leather range.

Amalfi
Sitting at the premium end amongst our leather ranges, Amalfi is a soft, semi aniline leather that makes use of the perfect blend of waxes and oils to enhance its natural grain, rather than conceal it.
Offering plenty of character, each hide has its own look and feel, which adds to the overall appeal of Amalfi.
With a more relaxed, heritage style that works just as well in contemporary interiors as it does in more traditional settings, its finish offers subtle depth and movement too. You won’t find a flat colour here. Instead, it feels much more natural and considered.
If you’re wondering who chooses Amalfi, it’s simply made for those who want to put the focus on quality and texture as much as aesthetics.
Developing over time and picking up further character as its used and enjoyed, it’s what many of our customers tell us they’ve been searching for – and it’s a great feeling when we can showcase the range and help tick another thing off their project’s to-do list!
