PRODUCT CARE BULLSKIN LEATHER

Our high quality leather only needs little care and naturally features unique characteristics as well as it develops its own marks and patina while using it, so it will become even more special to you. We recommend keeping your leather product away from intensive sun, heat and rain exposure, oils and cosmetics. You can remove light stains by carefully using a clean cloth and a little water. You can care for your product by treating it with special leather care products (leather conditioner or leather cream) once a year, or after you have cleaned it. After cleaning you can provide a wax/ waterproof-spray to repel water and dirt.

If you are not using your product, we advise you to store it in the dust bag it came with (you can also use other breathable fabrics such as an old cotton pillowcase). For our darker leather colors we advise you to avoid intensive contact with light colored fabrics.

PRODUCT CARE SUEDE LEATHER

We recommend keeping your leather product away from intensive sun, heat and rain exposure, oils and cosmetics. Please avoid water to clean our suede leather products. You can use a specific suede leather brush (a soft haired brush works as well) to wipe away dirt. After cleaning you can provide a waterproof-spray to repel water and dirt. If you are not using your product, we advise you to store it in our dust bag (you can also use other breathable fabrics such as an old cotton pillowcase). For our darker leather colors we advise you to avoid intensive contact with light colored fabrics.
