Aftercare for your leather

Part of the beauty of leather is that it develops something called Patina.
Patina is the enriched color with a beautiful soft sheen that develops over time on the surface of leather products. We have come to love and really appreciate leather and it´s durability as a material that moves with you and grows and ages alongside you. Although this process is inevitable there are some things we suggest to keep your leather looking and feeling better for longer.

Learn more about what makes leather darken and become more supple below.

  • Oxidization

    This process kick starts a chemical reaction on the leathers surface which causes the leather to darken.

  • Exposure to UV and heat

    Just like our own skin, leather tans and darkens when it is exposed to UV rays or sunlight, that begin to deteriorate the surface over time.

  • Liquids, creams and perfumes

    When leather dries out, minerals from perfumes, creams or other liquids can can form on the surface altering how light is reflected.

  • Absorption of oils

    Leather absorbs natural oils from your hair and skin, causing the material to darken and become soft and supple over time.
