At the end of the twentieth century, Lavalina leather was a popular aniline leather for furniture, which was treated with a strong oil and water repellent. This furniture was sold in the mid to high price segment. The strong protection was done to achieve the ease of cleaning and care of pigmented leathers and maintain the naturalness and haptics of aniline leather. After about ten years however, some colours strongly faded and a typical problem with these leathers were grease stains in the hair and skin contact area, just like with all other aniline leathers.
The original Lavalina leather was an intensive waterproofed aniline leather for furniture.
Today, Lavalina leather is still being processed by the car manufacturer Alpina. However, this is a semi-aniline leather with a pigment based protective layer. Due to the pigmentation, the leather is significantly better protected against fading and grease stains. However, it does not have the porosity of the Lavalina leather of the first generation. For the vehicle sector, however, this is a sensible compromise.
Lavalina leather is also available in the furniture sector. It’s a semi-aniline leather, which is offered with a special production method called drum pigmentation.
Lavalina leather used today by the car manufacturer Alpina and also the Lavalina leather in the furniture area is a semi-aniline leather.
