Castello is a distinguished leather produced on premium European cow hides. Castello is immediately identifiable by its distinctive tipped effect, with the peaks of the grain being darker than the base leather colour. This creates a sophisticated and unique appearance in a protected semi-aniline leather, making Castello an ideal selection for all interior environments.
The colours in Castello are contemporary, yet timeless. They invite the designer to make the leather the anchor of a scheme and to build further tones and textures to complement this beautiful leather.
All colours are in stock and available for immediate off-the-shelf delivery.
Custom colours are available on request.

Castello 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.
