What leather do you use in your products?

We are obsessed with the selection of leather that we use for our products. As such, we mainly use high quality full grain vegetable tanned leather.

While our team take the upmost care in selecting our leather, there may be small deviances in colour and minor blemishes/marks that comes from the natural skin of the animal.

Do you have exotic leathers (e.g. Crocodile, Snake Skin etc.)?

We do stock exotic leathers like crocodiles, python and ostrich. Do engage us to create a exquisite piece in exotic leather.

How do I care for my leather product?

With proper care, your leather product will reward you with years of use. Our vegetable-tanned leather will show its natural characteristics as it absorbs its surrounding elements and patina with use. Here are some leather care tips to ensure the longevity of your product:

Avoid damp and wet surfaces

Wipe off any contact with water with a soft cloth. The leather will absorb any remaining droplets and dry naturally. When storing your leather product for an extended period, keep them dry with desiccants.

Avoid prolonged exposure to heat

Limit exposure to direct heat and sunlight as the leather may be dry out

Maintain with a leather balm

Regular polishing with a leather balm will enhance the luster of the leather. Apply the leather balm with a clean soft cloth, allow the leather to absorb the leather balm before buffing it with the soft cloth.

What customisation options are available?
