Aniline tanned leather
Unfortunately, the terminology in describing different types of leather are not always the same and this can lead to confusion. Some leather products are offered with the description "aniline tanned leather". However, this is incorrect as tanning is done with tannins. "Aniline" is not a tannin. When referring to "Aniline" there can only be two uses - "aniline dyes" and "aniline leather".
"Tanning" has two meanings. It is the tanning of leather, but also the tanning of the skin in the sun. The term "tanned skin" is usually used when speaking about the tanning of human skin in the sun. Vegetable tanning agents are brown and the first bit of coloration that any hide gets depends on the tanning method used. Crust of vegetable tanned leathers are brownish. Therefore, the description "aniline tanned" is not correct.
