Sauvage is made on high quality hides, and has a pleasing semi-aniline handle. A slight two-tone effect is evident and is achieved by using pigments in the initial coat, with later coats containing a contrasting dye. These hides are uncorrected and will show all natural marks and scars, giving evidence of the natural origin of this type of leather. Sauvage is very soft and supple leather and needs a little more care in use than pigmented hides, as it can be easily scratched or scuffed.
