A & A CRACK & SONS LTD
Tanned and finished in Tuscany , Italy , our Classic Croc is a luxurious pure aniline polished leather suitable for upholstery . We searched far and wide to discover an embossment plate that was possible to cover a whole hide , with no repeat pattern ! Perfect for those larger panel upholstery jobs . What we were looking for , was a leather specifically for applications where the hide required would present the look and feel of how leather once was . Not over pigmented and not modern looking enough to be confused with the existing everyday offerings that are flooding the market currently . These hides are produced on smaller whole veals , averaging 35 to 40 sqft . Our Classic Croc has a matte appearance with a medium handle and is available in 11 stunning colours . You can purchase just a single hide from our warehouse ! Established in 1987 , A & A Crack & Sons are one of the leading leather suppliers in the U . K . A & A Crack & Sons Ltd .
