LEATHER
Natural leathers are basically impossible to keep in a pristine
state. It's not because of the quality - all our current hides
are "AA" grade ( with a minimum thickness of 1.2mm).
Natural leathers have no pigment top finish; the beauty of natural
grain variation is therefore emphasised and the marks and scars
of the animal are not covered up. These "markings"
and colourations highlight the distinguishing difference of
a superior product. This leather will appeal to those people
who pride themselves on their ability to recognise real quality.Our
natural leathers are all scotchguarded and UV Ray treated.
Our pigmented leathers are also "AA" grade and
as such they are more resistant to general surface wear and
tear. The pigment not only covers many of the marks and scars
but it also acts as a protector to the actual hide.
We recommend you follow these rules in the care of your leather:
1. Regularly vacuum (carefully) to remove surface dust and
dirt
2. Remove spilled liquids quickly with a damp cloth. Allow
drying away from heat.
3. Do not rub hard and never use detergents or abrasive cleaning
compounds.
4. Do not expose to direct sunlight, intense heat, weather
or UV Rays.
5. Wipe over with a soft cloth, moistened with soapy water;
after direct contact with bare skin. Acids (from the skin),
chlorine and salt degrades the leather quickly and must be
avoided.
6. Do not try to remove ink or other indelible marks. Live
with them.
7. Cuts and nicks in leather are difficult to repair and necessitate
factory service.
Please Remember: a) whatever the prevention method employed,
leather (like our own skin) will mark in the passage of time
b) There are organizations that specialize in service and
revitalizations of leather and upholstery. If you have a problem
call an expert.
