Ultimate Guide to Leather Care
We use full grain leather to make our products. This is the most traditional, desired, and expensive of all leathers.
Features of Full-Grain Leather
- Each piece has natural scratches and grains that make this leather unique and valuable.
- It develops a rich patina over time and is ideal for rugged leather goods.

Daily Care for Leather Products
- Clean leather products with a soft cotton cloth and wax to prevent damage to the surface. Avoid any contact with water.
- Keep leather products away from direct sunlight and water.
- Protect leather products from contact with sharp or rigid objects.
- If leather products become damp or wet, air-dry or blow-dry them.
- For leather products that are stored permanently, apply anti-blushing agents and seal them in a plastic bag in a cool, dry place.
Storage and Care
- Do not expose leather products to water, moisture, sunlight, high temperatures, coarse objects, acids, alkalis, or shoe polishers.
- If leather products become damp or soaked: Air-dry them in a shady, ventilated place before waxing.
- To treat scratches on leather products: Apply leather care products and let them air-dry. Then, heat the surface with a blow dryer for 30-40 seconds and wipe it repeatedly with a dry cloth.
- To treat minor cracks on leather products: Use egg-white for adhesion.
- To clean mildew from leather products: Wipe the affected areas with a soft, dry cloth and apply leather care products. Avoid using water or gasoline.
- Leather products manufactured from full-grain leather need to be stored in dark places.
- Do not store in tight spaces to avoid deformational damage.
