Materials & Care

We use only high quality chrome tanned leather. 

We use two different kinds of genuine leather types:

1. Leather

The leather we use is very resistant to stains, water and heat. Its very pliable, and supple, soft and pleasant to the touch.

CARE:  For cleaning we advise using warm water with a soft cloth while cleaning in small circular motions. 

2. Suede leather

Suede leather has a unique feel and look among leather types. It’s the soft and fuzzy underside of hide. But suede leather is more sensitive than the usual leather. Therefore it requires much more care:

1. Brushing

This involves a brass wire brush (for very short suede) or an actual suede brush (the kind with a visibly fuzzy nap). Perform quick, light strokes while using either one so the bristles get deep into the fibers removing dirt/scum or dust.

Always brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This keeps the item looking consistently clean and tidy. 

2. Protection 

All you need is a suede protector spray which you'll find in shoe repair stores

It's water- and dirt-repellant…and the best version would be a waterproof silicone-based spray with a neutral color.

Learn to use it after each time you clean your suede and the item has fully dried. Here's how to apply the spray to your suede items:

1. Check that the suede material is clean and dry (you would've done the appropriate cleaning method first).
2. Test the spray on a small area to see if there's a drastic change in color.
3. If the color is fine – spray the suede-covered areas of the upper and then spray the entire item evenly (some slight darkening overall is natural). Make sure you don't over-saturate.
4. Do one final quick brush in a single direction over the suede.
5. Let the item air-dry on a towel for 24 hours in a well-ventilated area.

How often should you spray your items?

I'd recommend spraying once every 2 months.

Note: Do NOT consider using leather creams or shoe polish. They don't work on suede the way they do on other leather types. They can disrupt the fibers and spoil your suede items even if they aren't stained or dirty.

Storage Tips

There are two main issues to watch out for when storing your suede: (1) direct sunlight and (2) a lack of air circulation. So you ought to keep them in a cool, dry place that doesn't receive sunlight. Suede that's left exposed to the sun can shrink, fade or harden. Avoid wrapping the items in plastic as well. The fibers in the suede need some breathing room.
