Does white leather stain more easily?

[Raident]

I've heard a lot to that effect, but is it true or just a side effect of people not properly caring for their leather?

[drcollie]

Darker colors (just like on T-shirts) hide stains and dirt better, that's all. White leather is beautiful, like this Hancock & Moore Chantal I have in my store - but it will require more attention to prevent soiling.

[Raident]

That is indeed beautiful. Which leather is that?

[drcollie]

That is Angelo Creme, GR 2 with the premium Belgian Chocolate finish, which makes a huge difference and is well worth the surcharge on a piece like this.

I have seen the dye from blue jeans completely ruin a beautiful white leather sofa.

I hadn't thought about that - admittedly, ruining a piece of furniture within 6 months of purchase just because I carelessly happened to sit on it while wearing a new pair of jeans is actually rather terrifying...

[drcollie]

Just make sure you blue jeans are not damp from water or perspiration, and I would also use Leather Solutions Protectant on a creme or white leather, just to give you a fighting chance on it all.

Yes definitely want to be careful when wearing jeans on a leather sofa, I know that from experience!
