Yes, semi-aniline leather can absorb water, though it is more water-resistant than full-aniline leather due to its protective coating. This coating helps to repel moisture and stains while allowing some breathability. However, prolonged exposure to water can still damage the leather, so it's important to avoid excessive moisture and to use appropriate leather care products.

How much water does leather absorb?

Does water ruin leather?
Whilst it would indeed seem that upon getting wet, the water simply runs off the leather, if left in damp humid conditions the leather will go mouldy. It is not advisible to leave leather around too much water, just in case, so whilst the way it is treated means it doesn't absorb water easily, its better to be safe than sorry.
Does leather sink in water?
It depends on how the leather is finished. Certain leathers will sink almost immediately, however most leathers will float for a while until they become waterlogged and then slowly sink or float below the surface of the water.
What will happen if you put water on leather?
Water is good for leather and in fact is necessary to keep it in good condition. Leather 'breathes' which means that moisture moves in and out (transpiration). In hot temperatures (natural and artificial conditions) leather loses moisture and so water is needed to replace the moisture and keep it rehydrated. Leather is finished in different ways and the type of finish will determine how water reacts when it is applied to the leather. Aniline style leathers will absorb the water quickly and care needs to be taken to make sure that water marks do not occur. These type of leathers will darken when water is applied but will generally dry out to the original colour. Coated leathers allow water to sit on the surface for longer and water will generally bead on the surface and not cause the leather to darken. Wiping over leather with a damp cloth or water based products such as Lazy Leather will help to prolong the life of your leather and keep it at the correct hydration.
