How do I look after my leather product?

How do I look after my leather product?

How do I look after my leather product? Store your item in a cool, dry place. Never leave it exposed to direct sunlight. Do not overfill your bag as it is designed to carry only a certain amount of load. Overfilling it will stretch the leather and the bag could lose its shape. Exceeding the load will also cause unnecessary strain on the metal fittings.

What types of leather do we use?

What types of leather do we use?

Choosing the best cut of leather is the starting point in our commitment to produce designs of supreme quality. To create beautiful luxury items that our customers can enjoy for a lifetime, we use 1.6 - 1.8mm thick Crazy Horse leather made from full grain cowhide leather in nearly all our collections, and 3mm thick vegetable-tanned leather for belts and straps.
