Elmosoft

Elmosoft is a chrome free, soft and pliable semi-aniline leather. Outstanding comfort combined with excellent durability and an extensive shade card, makes it very suitable for the public environment. Compare it with the somewhat sturdier, Elmonordic. Visible insect-bites and scars from healed wounds add to the elegant quality of the leather.

 

For decades, we’ve led the tanning industry toward a circular economy and zero waste. Our biological Water Treatment Plant and Zero Waste Leather concept are game-changers, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to making a difference.

With nearly a century of expertise, we ensure the utmost craftsmanship and quality. Each piece of Elmo leather undergoes meticulous inspection by our skilled artisans and complies with global standards.

Elmosoft is a semi-aniline leather. All the beauty and qualities of natural leather, with added strength, that’s semi-aniline. We call it a fortunate compromise, providing both comfort and durability. Semi-aniline is treated with a water-based mix of binder, color pigment and fixative on the surface. The result is a soft and adaptable leather that withstands the test of time and cleans easily.
