The Leather

Leather is a natural material and variation in the texture and colour is to be expected and appreciated. Overtime and with use the leather will develop even further to reflect the life that you lead. Contact with water, heat, sharp objects, chemicals and corrosive substances should be avoided, as should excessive exposure to sunlight, as these may permanently alter the colour and or texture of the leather. To help increase the life of your leather product place it in the provided dustbag when not in use and store this in a dark dry place. If you decide to treat your leather or suede product with a 'protectant' we recommend that you test a small area first to ensure that there is no undesired results.

Nubuck

Vantis
