We handcraft all our products from start to finish to make sure that you get the best out of your products. We know that leather is so durable, that it can last for decades. However, overtime, leather requires care as it loses moisture and oils. This may cause the leather to break rather than stretch. So leather is just like your skin, it needs to be moisturized and looked after.
By following simple rules, you can avoid unnecessary wear and tear to extend the life of your accessories for years to come.
- Overfilling your leather products may cause it to stretch and can affect its original silhouette & stitching.
- Wet leather requires a lot more care, be sure to avoid exposing your leather to rain.
