Product Care

The leather our artisans use in the production of all our hand-coloured products is sheep and goatskin which has been vegetable tanned.  The tanning process takes place in the villages outside in simple wooden vats.  This method of tanning gives the leather its qualities allowing it to be embossed very finely indeed.

It also means that some of the colours we use change over time, either darkening or developing a different hue completely due to the environment and light.  It is important not to leave the products in direct light as it can bleach them.  Sources of heat can cause dryness and moisture can stain.  This is normal for all leather products unless specially treated.

Please note that natural leather can have small marks which are considered normal and slight variations in colour due to varying colours of the natural skin.  Neither is a fault.

To take care of the items please use a soft cloth to polish them gently.
