Dublin (Princess)
June 2011 Update: CTL’s Princess and Dublin leather lines have been combined into a single line.
This fluffy and light natural grained leather is achieved by a special milling process that allows the grain to surface naturally, providing the leather with a soft, supple hand and natural pebbled texture. Our most popular heavyweight leather, Princess’ grains are slightly tipped with a sheen that gives the leather true radiance. A fine transparent finish further protects the leather and allows for depth and variation of color – a true aficionado’s leather.
