Paradiso
Suede in look, but without the cost and weather of suede.
A leather bottom gives a strong pliable structure to this smart product, which is then completed with a unique topping to provide a soft warm hand.
A leather structure offers the longevity and strength of leather, while the top finish provides water repellent and flame retardant features, as well as high resistance to staining and ease of cleanability.

Leather is a natural product. Distinctive markings and nuances in its texture and color are natural in occurrence and a testament to its authenticity.
Swatches give a general idea of the color reference of the hide & dye lot, but are NOT expected to be an exact colour reference.
NOTE: Due to color variations on different monitors and color printers, before making exact color and texture matches, we recommend that you request an actual sample to ensure proper color representation as many monitors cannot display colors accurately. CTL Leather is not responsible for color selections made from this website or in lieu of requesting CFAs when applicable.
