Some leathers are developed as exclusive materials for specific products.
Vintage Beige and Vintage Brown Leather are respectively available on
the Paul and Pascal ranges only, and both are marked by irregularities on
the surface due to the preciosity of the material.

SHAGREEN-INSPIRED
LEATHERS
Shagreen-inspired leathers present a particularly visible texture, added
through printing or coating techniques. Among those, we can mention
Jade Shagreen Textured Leather: the texture is reproduced through a
printing process followed by a hand-brushing which lightens the colour in
relief. Colour and shade can vary from one leather to another.

THIN LEATHERS
Thin Leathers present a reduced thickness compared to Soft Touch
Leathers. They are treated cow leathers featuring a smooth surface, where
irregular streaks can be visible: this distinctive feature is typical of the
natural raw material and highlights its quality. Thin Leathers are available
on a selection of products only. Area of origin: Italy.

TECHNICAL FABRICS
Technical fabrics by Armani/Casa are developed on microfiber, which
makes them soft and pliable. These materials are stronger than leather
on a strength-to-weight ratio but, similarly to leather, their surface features
invisible micro pores that can dissipate heat and humidity. Differently from
usual fabrics of this kind, they do not contain any PVC: for this reason, they
do not release any harmful compounds, thus being safe for use in any
environment. Those fabrics are also very resistant to abrasion and provide
excellent durability; they even passed the flame retardant test (FR) without
any additional treatment.
Depending on the desired effect, these fabrics can undergo different
processes to obtain a specific look: Technical Shagreen Fabric, for example,
has a custom printed multi-coloured pattern created by a tri-axial matrix,
conceived to remind the appearance of the precious rawhide typical of
the Armani taste. The other versions of technical fabric reproduce the typical
streaks on the fur of chinchilla (Technical Chinchilla Fabric) or a warm-toned
leather with pearlescent reflections (Technical Pearl Gold Fabric).
