Every leather piece from our collection is crafted from the finest hides by master artisans. Proper care will ensure your handbag, wallet, or belt ages beautifully and lasts for generations.
Understanding Your Leather
We use only full-grain leather — the highest quality grade with an intact top layer. Natural markings such as subtle wrinkles, veins and pores are hallmarks of genuine leather, not imperfections. Over time, the leather develops a rich patina unique to your piece.
Handbag Care
Store your bag upright in its dust bag when not in use. Stuff the interior with acid-free tissue paper to maintain the silhouette. Avoid overfilling — excess weight stretches leather and strains stitching. Rotate bags regularly to allow the leather to rest and breathe.
For chain or leather straps: avoid hanging your bag for extended periods to prevent strap deformation. Tuck chains inside the dust bag to prevent scratching the leather surface.
Wallet & Card Holder Care
New wallets require a brief break-in period. Avoid overstuffing card slots as this stretches the leather permanently. Remove coins regularly from zip compartments to prevent interior wear. Wipe leather surfaces monthly with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils from handling.
Belt Care
Hang belts from the buckle on a belt rack or roll loosely — never fold, as creases in leather are permanent. Alternate between belts to allow each one to recover its shape. The buckle hole that fits best is the middle one; using the same hole consistently prevents uneven stretching.
For metal buckles: wipe with a soft cloth after wearing to remove moisture and fingerprints. Gold and palladium plating will maintain its luster longer with minimal contact with perfume, sweat, or chemicals.
Protect Against the Elements
Water, heat, direct sunlight, and humidity alter leather's color and texture. If your item gets wet, blot immediately with a soft absorbent cloth — never use a hairdryer or radiator. Allow to air-dry naturally, then apply leather conditioner once fully dry.
Substances to Avoid
Ink, lipstick, perfume, hand sanitizer, and alcohol-based products leave permanent marks. Dark denim and raw fabrics can transfer dye onto light-colored leather. Keep items away from newspapers, receipts, and printed materials — the ink transfers easily.
Hardware & Metal Fittings
Clasps, turn-locks, zippers, and buckles are crafted from brass or stainless steel with gold, palladium, or ruthenium plating. Polish gently with a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tarnished hardware, a jeweler's polishing cloth restores the original finish.
Professional Restoration
Corner repairs, re-dyeing, stitch reinforcement, strap replacement, and hardware renewal should be entrusted to professional artisans. DIY products or unsuitable cleaning agents may cause irreversible damage.
A well-cared-for leather piece grows more beautiful with age. Each scratch and patina tells the story of your journey together.
