Slipcovers are usually made of cloth. Slipcovers may be removed for seasonal change, cleaning, moving, or storage. Slipcovers are sometimes defined as "<strong>clothing for furniture</strong>." They are tailored just as clothing is, and are fitted loosely or snugly to the taste of the owner or tailor. Some people order furniture upholstered in plain muslin slipcovers with the intention of using only the slipcovers. </p> <p align="center"><font size="5"><strong>slip·cov·ers <em>noun</em> Date:1856</strong> </font> <br /> <br /></p> <p align="justify">What a great way to update the look of upholstered leather chairs by using <strong>leather for slipcovers</strong> instead of the more traditional tight leather upholstery technique. It adds a whole new dimension to the "leather" look. <strong>Slipcovers</strong> are a great alternative and they give a more casual feel to furniture. You can change the look of your room by having an extra set of slipcovers<strong> </strong>and by changing these slipcovers seasonally you have a brand new decor. <strong>Leather slipcovers</strong> may be all that your existing chairs need to update them. The new faux leather on the market has the advantage of being easy to clean. And for higher end faux leather products, it is hard to tell the difference from real leather, unless you give it the leather 'sniff test'. <br /> <br /></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCwHDWJJZ5waflm1fLncRipcDNFU8M-2VJFg4W_3WVKsXOE1aggYkYNXoZGmWtNZguXlt0lYM_Mkdu0ZTeHRxdFIwROqwhQ2kyZ2qa3JEW176xbh73xq0vnvvNW1qR9awGanR7pnbQ0O3s/s1600-h/image%5B5%5D.png"><img alt="Slipcovers, Slipcovers, Slipcovers" border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzONCRfBaKCygOyqALLECP1pqx1HB45Lk7C4g_2-lTHebrwMZ80dkWG3EiSOjp0aqN3uPrRW1CmcprCo77jr8veliM48Oj24K1RP518qJ-1B71PFno0GoIj-Ye50wdDSmzwrNY_iQHPfOk/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" width="462" /></a> <br />Slipcovers <br /><a href="http://www.leeindustries.com/viewZoomDetail.asp?Category=WhatsNew&Style=LS1296-01" target="_blank"><font size="1">Lane Industries</font></a><font size="1"> Leather Slipcovers left, </font><a href="http://www.saladinostyle.com/#section=view%20chairs&furniture_id=7" target="_blank"><font size="1">John Saladino</font></a><font size="1"> center & right <br />Leather Slipcovers 'Harley Chair' center </font><a href="http://www.blogger.com/saladinostyle.com/#section=view%20chairs&furniture_id=7" target="_blank"><font size="1">John Saladino</font></a><font size="1"> Leather Slipcovers 'Cassandra Chair' right </font></p> <p><strong>Food for thought:</strong> <strong>John Saladino</strong> is the designer of the Harley and Cassandra Leather slipcovered chairs above. He has several meticulously designed and detailed chairs with leather slipcovers in his exclusive 'Saladino Style' line which he has carried for years. As a matter of fact, John Saladino is 'known' for leather slipcovers in the world of design by professional designers. Interior Designers/Decorators are usually the first to create a design that is fresh and new and then it eventually filters down to the mass market like the current <strong>"What's Hot"</strong> fad for <strong>Leather Slipcovers</strong>, which is now being seen in mass production in the example of the chair on the left above by Lane Furniture. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with mass produced furniture, but what I lament is that the original designer of the concept is often forgotten and not recognized in the wake of the new trend. In Italy they have an award that is given out each year called the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compasso_d" target="_blank">Compasso d'Oro</a>. It publicly acknowledges the contribution by designers of outstanding products made in Italy. Many of the designs that have won awards are now so fully encompassed into our every day lives that we take them for granted. Last year a Compasso d'Oro award in Italy was presented to the American designer <a href="http://www.karimrashid.com/awards_fr.html" target="_blank">Karim Rashid</a> for a dresser he designed for an Italian Company. I admire the Italians for honoring their designers and giving them the acknowledgment that they deserve. Unfortunately we do not have a national award such as this in North America to foster pride in the great designers that contribute so much to the quality of our lives. </p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQCOjz7M0WWxzCRCB-_SjnHrNxuwmMVZH8DidrS7RMhLl3vV0URDbklLPExoMpYRPVg7DXKIWRmJknXKJmzAhtZv2EsrvQcizZWrl_awq4Yv1Ry2ecnPNS-5SZSgzeSGa7HtmKD-g30-Ku/s1600-h/Leather%20Slipcover%20John%20Saladino%205.jpg"><img alt="Leather Slipcover John Saladino " border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI9frgPYJv_XYPiZn3YBNf1xM-dZlftv5rmGjK86BKTFZhZHkN-KcyrmpnW20R6W4rt7Emd16OFfd2ihFR4W-pd5Roo6Iw0vs4LJUy0QzuZQNtpKWh8D3LIxD9atqT7_sIkKNgwoZVTXze/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px;
