We Actually Make Stuff
Why Choose Us
This isn't some dropshipping operation where we're just moving inventory. Every wallet, belt, and bag comes from our own workshop. We cut the leather, punch the holes, and stitch everything by hand. When something leaves our shop, we know exactly how it was made because we made it.
Leather Care Guide:FAQs
Daily Care & Maintenance
Depends on how much you use it, but generally:
- Daily use items (wallets): Quick wipe down every few weeks
- Bags: Clean every 2-3 months
- Belts: When they get dirty
No need to overdo it - leather's pretty low maintenance.
Keep it simple:
1. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth
2. Use mild soap if needed (saddle soap works great)
3. Wipe clean with a dry cloth
4. Let it air dry completely
Skip the fancy cleaners - they usually do more harm than good.
Pretty straightforward:
- Condition every 3-4 months for daily use items
- Use a quality leather conditioner (we recommend [specific brand])
- Apply thin layer, let it soak in
- Wipe off excess
That's really all there is to it.
Common Issues
Don't panic. Here's what to do:
1. Blot (don't rub) with a clean cloth
2. Let it dry naturally - no heat!
3. Once completely dry, apply conditioner
4. Good to go
Water isn't great for leather, but it's not the end of the world.
If you get caught in the rain:
- Don't try to cover it with plastic (traps moisture)
- Let it dry naturally at room temp
- Once dry, condition if needed
Your leather can handle some rain - just don't go swimming with it.
Try this first:
1. Rub with your finger (seriously - body heat often works)
2. If that doesn't work, tiny bit of conditioner
3. Still there? It's probably character now
Remember: good leather ages with you - scratches often add to the look.
Preventive Care
Three main things:
1. Keep it conditioned (but don't overdo it)
2. Avoid extreme temperatures
3. Don't leave it in direct sunlight
Basically, treat it like your own skin.
For bags and wallets? Probably not needed. The leather's natural oils provide decent protection. Just condition regularly and you're good.
Storage Tips
Pretty simple:
- Keep in a cool, dry place
- Avoid plastic bags (leather needs to breathe)
- Use the dust bag we provided if you've got it
- Store stuffed if it's a bag (helps keep shape)
Easy process:
1. Wipe with clean cloth
2. Let it air out for a day
3. Apply light coating of conditioner
4. Use it - leather likes to be used
Specific Situations
Don't panic:
1. Blot excess (don't rub!)
2. Sprinkle corn starch/baby powder
3. Let sit overnight
4. Brush off
5. Repeat if needed
Could be a few things:
- New leather needs break-in time
- Might need conditioning
- Could be too dry
Start with conditioning - that usually does the trick.
General Tips
Simple stuff:
- Clean when needed (but don't overdo it)
- Condition regularly
- Keep away from heat/sun
- Let it dry naturally if wet
- Use it - leather ages better with use
Watch for these signs:
- Leather feels greasy
- Surface is too soft
- Dark spots appearing
When in doubt, less is more with conditioning
