STIFTUNG WARENTEST, the magazine for consumer protection, describes leather of high quality in its guide to the purchase of furniture such as untreated ecopell:

"Leather of high quality is dyed in such a way that the dye encloses every single fibre leaving all natural features visible.

Particularly with extensive pieces of furniture you can trace whole lives of cattle:

• Ranking battles,


• Parasites,


• Injuries obtained in the stable or on the pasture,


• Chaps caused by thorns and hedges,


• Brands (imported leather) and fattening folds can be seen.


• In the dying each skin zone absorbs only that much dye the structure of the fibre allows. So there are natural colour variations even within one and the same hide."

The leather's features of life strikingly reflect the singularity of each hide and increases the individuality of the products manufactured from it.

They do not reduce the practical quality of the leather.
