Pigmented furniture leather is offered by some manufacturers as "LongLife leather" or "Long Life leather". This is a sales concept, which is also offered under other terms. In this marketing strategy, pigmented leather, which is easy to care, is offered with a "5-year guarantee" or comparable additional services, which mostly are only valid for "ease of care" and "fading" (light fastness). The regular yearly purchase of Longlife leather care sets has to be proven to save the 5-year guarantee.

Modern, pigmented furniture leather does not fade and an "ease of care" guarantee is not clear. The warranty does not save you from traces of use and other typical leather damages. Therefore the "guarantee" is almost never helping. Therefore, the owners of such furniture are disappointed when the guaranty does not help to solve a problem.
