I have nothing but powder blue and tan Italian leather in my home, its butter soft and as strong as nails. With all the visiting pets coming and going in my home plus my own, its the only thing that makes any sense. Leather can be quit beautiful as well and has no smell you need to use Febreeze on...I love the material. I dress mine up with all kinds of colorful prints on pillows....You can wipe it off with just a warm wet cloth as well... [Wink]
