To make phone, tablet and laptop cases we combine two complementary materials: natural felt and genuine leather. We mostly work with Crazy Horse leather.
Crazy Horse leather imparts a unique and vintage look to the items. It resembles an old family relic which acquires a special sheen and a scratchy surface reminiscent of the years gone by. This ageing effect is one of its exclusive features.
A threadbare look makes an item even more charming, relating the history of its owner. Out of two identical items put on the table you'll immediately be able to tell which one is yours.
For some collections we use a unique and precious material - vegetable tanned leather. Over time vegetable tanned leather seems to take on a life of its own: the colour gradually changes, becomes richer and the leather itself develops a beautiful and distinct patina. These distinctive features are due to classical leather processing methods where tannins – tanning agents of plant origin – are used. Only 10% of all leather produced in the world is processed using such natural and environmentally friendly technology.
CARE OF YOUR LEATHER PRODUCT:
Crazy Horse leather
Genuine Crazy Horse leather has a lived-in look right from the start and is also our toughest leather. Take it anywhere, do anything to it, in any conditions and it will keep coming back for more, getting ever better looking along the way.
Dust and dirt should be removed with a soft cloth.
For the stains cleaning use diluted soap. Clean the entire area rather than only the spot as cleansing will darken the colour. Allow to dry fully, then apply conditioning treatment. Bear in mind that conditioning leather will darken it slightly. Use leather care products based on natural oils and beeswax. Beeswax works for water resistance.
If your leather product gets soaked in water, allow it to dry naturally and never under an artificial heat source.
Vegetable tanned leather
For the cleaning of your vegetable tanned leather products use only diluted soap. Simply dilute some hand dish washing liquid with water at a ratio of at least 1:10 (it should not be sudsy), and wipe the area clean by dipping a clean rag into the soapy solution and rubbing it on the leather. Clean the entire area rather than only the spot as cleansing will darken the color. Allow to dry fully, then apply a conditioning treatment.
The best way to take care of your vegetable-tanned leather is with regular conditioning treatments. Bear in mind that conditioning leather will darken it slightly. In fact, doing this several times in a row can speed up the natural darkening process which occurs during the aging of vegetable-tanned leather. For vegetable tanned leather products use leather care products based on natural oils and beeswax. Beeswax works for water resistance.
