Immediately striking as a bold and elegant leather, Lucida is characterised by the thick hide and the ‘tipped’ grain effect. This is created by hand-polishing each hide of Lucida, adding to the warmth and depth of the colour and enhancing the hide’s natural features. Lucida is a genuine artisan product.
The protection against soiling and spillage is applied to Lucida in the tanning drum, retaining its breathability, whilst adding a level of surface resilience.
Lucida has been a proven performer in the most demanding, high traffic environments and is suitable for all residential and commercial applications.

Lucida is a heavyweight aniline leather, produced on the finest European raw material. Immediately striking as a bold and elegant leather, Lucida is characterised by the thick hide and the ‘tipped’ grain effect.
This tipping is created by hand-polishing each hide of Lucida, adding to the warmth and depth of the colour and enhancing the hide’s natural features. Lucida is without comparison in the market, exhibiting a unique finish and a luxurious, opulent handle.
The protection against soiling and spillage is applied to Lucida in the tanning drum. This allows the product to retain its breathability, whilst adding a level of surface resilience. Lucida is therefore suitable for all residential and commercial applications.

Lucida will require care and maintenance to continually offer the lasting beauty and comfort that only leather can provide.
Protect from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure may cause the leather to fade over time.
Protect leather from direct heat sources and heating vents.
Vacuum regularly using soft brush attachments to remove dust & grit.
Remove spills by blotting with a soft & absorbent colourfast cloth.
We recommend the use of Leather Master or Complete Leathercare products to spot clean and to revitalise your leather.
Do not use detergents, solvents or abrasive cleaners. Do not dry clean or machine wash.
Deterioration arising from incorrect or inadequate maintenance are not considered faults in the leather and will void any warranty.
