Care for it, and it lasts a lifetime.
Genuine leather is a living material — it breathes, flexes, and develops a beautiful patina over time. A little care keeps your Kordovan piece looking better with every year.
Your care routine, at a glance.
Every Day
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove dust and moisture
- Let wet leather dry naturally — never a hair dryer or heater
- Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight
- Avoid sharp objects and rough surfaces
Every 4–6 Weeks
- Apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner with a soft cloth
- Work in small circular motions, then buff off any excess
- Conditioning keeps leather supple and prevents cracking
When Storing
- Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity
- Use a dust bag or breathable cotton cover — never plastic
- Stuff bags with tissue paper to hold their shape
The marks make it yours.
Our veg-tan and full-grain leathers are meant to darken and develop character over time. The scratches, the colour deepening, the softening — these aren't flaws.
They're the leather recording your life. This is what makes each piece uniquely yours, and no conditioner can buy it — only time and use.
Do this, never that.
Do
- Condition every 4–6 weeks to replenish natural oils
- Let wet leather air-dry at room temperature
- Store in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place
- Treat scuffs gently — most fade into the patina
Don't
- Use chemical cleaners, alcohol, or acetone — they strip the finish
- Soak or submerge leather in water
- Store in plastic or humid spaces — leather must breathe
- Fold or crease bags for long periods
Care by material.
Full-Grain
The most durable, breathable hide — it keeps the natural grain, resists moisture, and ages most gracefully. Condition lightly; let it patina.
Vegetable-Tanned
Tanned with natural plant extracts. It darkens dramatically with sun and use — lean into it, and condition to keep it supple.
Crazy Horse
A waxed full-grain finish that shows light scratches by design. Rub a mark with your finger and it blends back in — that's the character.
