Leather (100%)

Genuine leather used for production. The most commonly used skins are beef or pork, from animals raised for meat. Leather is a by-product here that would otherwise remain unused. This is probably the oldest type of material used to make clothing and fashion accessories. With careful care, leather products will last you more than 10 years. This is a time that is unattainable for classic leatherette products.

How to care for a leather product?

In order for leather products to make you happy for as long as possible, you need to take care of them regularly. With proper care, quality leather products will last you for decades.

Cleaning of leather products:

• Regularly remove dirt from the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
• Do not use soaps or similar cleaners. When they are used, the skin dries out, which leads to faster wear and tear.
• The leather does not like soaking and wet leather must be dried slowly. Avoid drying at high temperatures (radiator, direct sunlight, hair dryer, etc.). When the leather dries quickly, it hardens and cracks! It is ideal to let the leather dry naturally at room temperature and then treat with a balm.
• We never soak and wash leather products, they would be destroyed.

Storage of leather products:

• Store leather backpacks, handbags and other accessories only in a dry place. Leather is a natural material, sensitive to long-term moisture, which can cause mold.
• Do not store products in the sun. This dries the skin and reduces its elasticity.
• The ideal place is a dry wardrobe with a lower temperature.

Leather treatment:

• The leather contains natural oils that evaporate over time. To keep the leather in its original shine and elasticity, it is necessary to treat the leather regularly.
• Twice a year, treat the leather product with leather balm. We recommend natural balms, eg based on beeswax or natural oils. There is also a large number of leather care products made from petroleum products on the market. Although these products are cheap, they are not suitable for leather treatment at all.
• This will create a fine protective film on the leather. The natural lubricating ingredients also penetrate the structure of the leather, thus keeping it in an elastic state.
• We only treat dry leather with a balm.
• Do not use waxes and shoe creams to treat leather backpacks and handbags. They have different properties than balms designed for the treatment of leather goods.
