Angel saddle leather is the saddle leather for horses. The Angel half-hide is an unpressed, uncorrected, full grain saddle leather. This leather has an aniline finish which preserves the natural appearance of the leather. It has a through dye and is enhanced by velvet dyed flesh. This leather benefits from an exceptional stretching elasticity which facilitates the operations of assembly of the leather. It is a mineral tanned leather in order to preserve certain technical characteristics. It is characterised by a strong suppleness giving it a silky touch throughout its life once stretched. A grip touch is given to it to guarantee a good seat. It will perfectly absorb any food throughout its life.

Care instructions for Angel saddle leather :
For themaintenance of your leather, we advise you in general: To pay particular attention to exposure to light, which can alter the shade of your leather, to always dust your leather with a dry cloth before applying a specific treatment. In case of contact with water, let your leather dry naturally, at room temperature, without any additional heat source.
For the maintenance of Angel saddle leather: A feed on the grain will nourish the areas between the pores of the skin and the pores themselves. This is ultimately the same process as feeding your hands when the skin is dry. Our Angel saddle leather will resist moisture, just let it dry at room temperature and it will look great again. Moistening the Angel leather allows it to have more elasticity and suppleness, the Angel leather will shrink during the drying process without altering the hand and its softness.
