Care
Vegetable-tanned leather is a living material that evolves with time. Through everyday use, it develops a rich patina that enhances its character, making each piece increasingly personal.
To preserve its beauty, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Should the leather become wet, gently absorb any excess moisture with a soft cloth and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Avoid treating isolated stains, as localized cleaning may create uneven marks or alter the leather’s natural appearance.
For regular maintenance, wipe the leather with a soft, dry cotton cloth. When necessary, nourish it with a small amount of neutral leather cream, applying it evenly over the entire surface. Avoid excessive conditioning, allowing the leather to age naturally and develop its distinctive patina. Always test any care product on an inconspicuous area before application.
Variations in tone, shading, texture, grain, as well as the gradual appearance of scratches, marks, and patina, are not imperfections but natural characteristics of vegetable-tanned leather. These qualities reflect the authenticity of the material and are an essential part of its aging process.
