Product Information

Is my product made of genuine leather?

Yes, all products from ANORAK is made out of 100% genuine Saffiano leather and Italian vegetable-tanned leather from cow hides. All products are manufactured in China. Products are customized in our headquarter and warehouse in Hong Kong.

What is Saffiano leather?

Saffiano leather is made by a stamping method.
The stamping method will provide the leather a cross-hatch finish, a special diagonal pattern on the surface. The leather will also be finished with a thin wax treatment.
Together, it provides in a unique type of leather that is highly durable with micro-scratch and splash resistance.

What is vegetable-tanned leather?

Vegetable tanning is the process that convert animal hides into leather using organic chemical agents from plants called tannins.
After animal skins are degreased and have their hair removed, they are soaked in vegetable tannins found in plants. This process alters the molecular structure of the animal hides by extracting the water molecules from the skins, making the hide less water-soluble, and thereby turning the hide into leather.

Although the process is complicated and time consuming, vegetable-tanning is the purest and most traditional procedure to process leather. Vegetable-tanned leather has great colour, grain, and smell. It is also very durable that it can last lifetimes.

How should I preserve the quality of my product?

Avoid exposure to heat and water. Minimize friction to prevent major scratches on the leather and the embossment. However, please note that as you use the product, the leather would show mirco-scratches. It will become softer and the colour will change due to the nature of the leather.
