LEATHER & PRODUCT CARE
-
What type of leather do you use? We use premium full-grain and hair-on cowhide leather sourced for quality and character. Each piece is unique — natural markings, variations in color, and texture are part of the beauty of genuine leather.
-
Will my leather item look exactly like the photo? Because we work with natural hides, each piece has its own unique grain, color variation, and markings. The item you receive will be similar to the photo but beautifully one-of-a-kind.
-
How do I care for my leather bag or accessory? Keep leather away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight. We recommend you condition regular leathers periodically with a quality leather conditioner. Wipe hair-on leathers and leathers clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth — never submerge in water.
-
How do I care for a hair-on cowhide rug? Wipe up spills when they occur with dry cloth; finish with a damp cloth. For regular dirt/dust: Shake outside, vacuum on low suction, sweep or roller sweeper, or rumba, regularly. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild (non-chemical) soap as needed. Avoid soaking the hide. For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
-
Will my cowhide rug shed? No, properly tanned hides don’t shed. The skin and hair are one (attached), thus they maintain that while they are being tanned. The oils in tanning processes assists with the longevity of years/decades.
-
Are your products handmade? Our leather goods are handcrafted by skilled craftspeople.
