Leather Care & Materials

Leather Care & Maintenance
Our bench-crafted leather goods are built to last a lifetime, using premium full-grain, vegetable-tanned leathers infused with oils and waxes. Proper care preserves their durability and allows them to develop a rich, personal patina over time.

Everyday Care

  • Keep It Dry: Water and heavy sweat are the primary threats to leather. If your item gets wet, wipe off excess moisture immediately with a soft cloth and allow it to air-dry naturally at room temperature. Never use hairdryers or direct heat, as they can cause leather to crack.
  • Avoid Submersion: Do not shower, swim, or soak your leather gear.

Cleaning & Conditioning

  • Routine Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the leather using a clean, slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove surface dust and dirt.
  • Conditioning: Apply a natural leather balm once or twice a year (or whenever the leather feels dry). Massage a small amount evenly using a soft cloth, let it absorb, and gently buff away any excess.

Storage

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent fading and drying.
  • Avoid storing items in airtight plastic bags; leather needs air circulation to breathe.
