Care & Storage
We use mainly cow leather for our products. During the animal’s lifetime, the skin is kept nourished with continuously replenishing natural oils. Once an animal skin undergoes transformation into leather, we need to add those oils so the skin doesn´t crack. Flexibility can be retained by topping up with lubricating oils and waxes. You can use olive oil, leather balm (available in any shop with leather clothes/shoes) or any other product designed for leather care.
- Using a clean, slightly damp cloth, gently wipe down your leather to remove any visible dirt so nothing gets caught in the leather pores.
- Allow to air-dry. Do not dry using and external sources of heat like ovens of hair dryers.
- Start with a small, fingernail sized amount of olive oil or leather balm on a clean, dry cloth. You can also you your hand to apply the oil or balm. Start with smaller amounts, you can always add more.
- Test small amount on a hidden patch of leather to preview results. If everything look fine, you can start gently rubbing the oil into the leather using a circular motion.
- The leather will start to absorb the oil or balm immediately. The appearance may initially darken, but over the next 24 hours, it will return to its natural state.
Repeat this procedure at least once a year, or more often if the item is exposed to heavy use. Additionally, always follow these rules:
- Never wash leather in washing machine.
- Never use chemical cleaning products on leather. Make sure all products are specially designed for leather care (except olive oil)
- Store the leather in a dark, dry place. Avoid continuous exposure to direct sunlight as it dries the surface and makes it more prone to cracking.
