Leather Care Guide

How to Care for Your Leather

Genuine leather is a living material — it breathes, flexes, and develops a beautiful patina over time. With a little care, your Kordovan piece will outlast decades of daily use and look better for every year it is worn.

Daily Habits

Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove dust and moisture
Allow wet leather to dry naturally at room temperature — never use a hair dryer or place near a heater
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade and dry out the leather
Keep away from sharp objects and rough surfaces

Monthly Care

Apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth
Work in small circular motions, then buff off any excess
Conditioning every 4-6 weeks keeps the leather supple and prevents cracking

Storing Your Leather

Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity
Use a dust bag or breathable cotton cover
Never store in plastic — leather needs to breathe
Stuff bags with tissue paper to maintain shape during storage

Veg-Tan Leather: Embrace the Patina

Our veg-tan leather products are meant to darken and develop character over time. The marks, scratches, and colour deepening you see are not flaws — they are the leather recording your life. This is what makes each piece uniquely yours.

Full-Grain Leather

Full-grain retains the natural grain of the hide, making it the most durable and breathable type of leather. It resists moisture better than corrected-grain leather and ages most gracefully.

What to Avoid

Chemical cleaners, alcohol, or acetone — these strip natural oils and damage the finish
Soaking or submerging in water
Storing in humid environments
Folding or creasing bags for extended periods
