Leather Care 🌿
Leather is a natural fiber, and just like any fine material, it can dry out over time. To keep your leather goods soft, supple, and protected, we recommend applying a leather balm or conditioner.
For optimal care, use a natural leather conditioner specifically designed for full-grain leather. This will nourish and protect the leather, keeping it in top condition for years to come.

🪶Engraved Leather - A Note on Your Unique Leather Piece
If your leather product is engraved, it receives a beautiful, custom finish.
During this process, a small amount of ash residue may be present — this is completely normal and temporary!
⚠️ We recommend handling with care and avoiding contact with light coloured surfaces initially, as some transfer may occur.
