A Note on Natural Leather

Leather is a living material. Variations in grain, tone, and texture are inherent to its nature and a mark of authenticity, no two pieces are exactly alike.

General Care

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water, humidity, and direct sunlight
  • Keep away from oils, perfumes, and harsh chemicals
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use
  • Use a soft cloth to gently remove surface dust after wear

Smooth Leather

Refined and supple, smooth leather benefits from regular conditioning.

      • Wipe gently with a clean, dry or slightly damp cloth
      • For deeper care, apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth
      • Allow to absorb naturally — do not over-saturate
      • Buff lightly to restore its natural sheen

Over time, smooth leather will soften and develop a subtle, lived-in elegance.

Embossed & Patterned Leather (Croc, Textured Finishes)

 

Structured and expressive, embossed leather requires a lighter touch.

      • Clean with a soft, dry cloth, following the direction of the pattern
      • Avoid heavy creams or oils that may build up within the texture
      • If needed, use a minimal amount of conditioner sparingly
      • Do not scrub or apply pressure to preserve the integrity of the finish

This leather is designed to maintain its structure and defined surface over time.

Hardware Care

  • Wipe metal hardware with a soft, dry cloth after exposure to moisture
  • Avoid contact with saltwater or abrasive surfaces
  • Store pieces separately to prevent scratching

After Water Exposure

If your piece becomes wet:

  • Gently pat dry with a soft cloth
  • Allow it to air dry naturally
  • Do not use heat or direct sunlight
