Leather Care
General Care of Vegetable Tanned Leather:
- Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the keyring to water. If it gets wet, gently blot with a soft cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat.
- Clean Regularly: Wipe with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- Condition Occasionally: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple. Use a small amount and rub it in with a soft cloth, then wipe off any excess.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the leather to dry out and fade.
- Handle with Clean Hands: Oils and dirt from your hands can transfer to the leather, affecting its appearance over time.
Color Change:
- Natural Patina: Vegetable-tanned leather will develop a unique patina with use, gradually darkening and gaining a rich, warm hue. This is a natural process that adds character and individuality to the leather.
- Aging Gracefully: Expect subtle colour variations and marks that reflect the life of the product. This is a sign of quality and craftsmanship.
By following these simple care instructions, you can ensure that the vegetable-tanned leather remains beautiful and functional for years to come. Enjoy watching it age and develop its own story!
