Silk & Sins · The Care Manual

Keeping your pieces timeless

Each piece is made with patience, and deserves the same in return. A gentle guide to caring for your leather and hardware — so your piece ages into memory, never out of it.

A guide to full-grain

We use full-grain leather to make our products — the most traditional, sought-after, and rare of all leathers.

Each piece carries natural scratches and grains — the signature of unique, valuable hide.
Full-grain leather develops a rich patina over time and is ideal for heirloom-grade goods.

Caring for Leather Pieces

Clean with a soft cotton cloth and a light wax to preserve the surface. Avoid any contact with water.
Keep leather away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Protect from contact with sharp or rigid objects.
If a piece becomes damp or wet, air-dry or blow-dry gently.
For long-term storage, apply an anti-blushing agent and seal in a breathable bag, kept somewhere cool and dry.

Storage & Restoration

Do not expose leather to water, moisture, direct sunlight, high temperatures, coarse objects, acids, alkalis, or shoe polish.
If a piece becomes damp: air-dry in a shady, ventilated place before waxing.
To soften scratches: apply a leather care product, let it air-dry, then warm the surface with a blow dryer for 30–40 seconds and buff with a dry cloth.
For minor cracks, egg-white can be used as a traditional adhesion remedy.
To remove mildew: wipe the area with a soft, dry cloth and follow with leather care product. Avoid water or gasoline.
Full-grain pieces prefer dark places — store somewhere shaded.
Do not store in tight spaces; leather needs room to breathe.

Metal Fittings

Polish regularly to maintain gloss and prevent discoloration or oxidation.
Golden and bronze finishes may naturally patina over time — a feature of the material, not a flaw.
Keep hardware away from rain, pressure, scratches, oil, and chemical corrosion.
Prevent contact with mildew or corrosive substances.
If rust appears, wipe with a soft dry cloth and a little polishing powder.
