Caring for full-grain leather

Our vegetable-tanned leather is built to endure. With minimal, deliberate care, your piece will soften, darken, and develop a rich patina unique to its lifetime of use.

Common Queries

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the patina develop?

What if my leather gets wet?

Vegetable-tanned leather absorbs oils from your hands and exposure to sunlight, gradually deepening in color to create a rich, custom luster.

Do not panic. Gently blot excess moisture with a clean cloth and let it air-dry naturally. Never use a hairdryer or place it near a radiator.

Can I use commercial cleaners?

Why are there natural markings?

We strongly advise against synthetic soaps or oils. They strip the natural waxes and can permanently alter the hand-burnished edges of your Pellux piece.

Small scars, wrinkles, or color variations are not defects. They are the hallmark of full-grain hide, proving the leather was never sanded or corrected.
