Athene

Bringing high fashion to upholstery leather design, Athene by Cortina Leathers is inspired by the most desirable handbags from Milan’s exclusive fashion houses, and Italian designers continually add new colors to Athene’s impressive colorline. With stunning clarity, depth of color, and a unique micro-crackle for a softly aged appearance, Athene celebrates the natural and unique characteristics of each hide—a mark of truly authentic and luxurious leathers. When stretched, Athene’s aniline finish lightens to display multiple hues and wears in beautifully, becoming even more gorgeous over time. Finished with a smooth and glossy protective topcoat, Athene is the perfect blend of versatile function and Italian fashion allure.
