Care guide
Before using your leather product
Leather must be impregnated 2-3 times in a row at half-hour intervals before using the product. Then the leather should be sanded with shoe polish and impregnated regularly depending on how often you use them.
After your leather product has been in use
Your leather product should be sanded with shoe polish and impregnated regularly depending on how often you use them. This improves the longevity of your leather product.
If leather is not nourished, the leather dries out and may crack. If you have shoes or boots that have become soaked, stuff them with crumpled newspaper and let them dry slowly at room temperature - never on a radiator or in a heating cabinet.
Types of leather qualities
Leather can generally be divided into three different types:
Grain leather - highest quality: Grain leather is the top layer of the skin on the animal.
Split later - second best quality: Split-leather is the part of the skin that faces the body. The split leather can be split into different thicknesses, whereby a production can be optimized, as the raw material is thereby utilized optimally. The split leather is part of the genuine leather, and has roughly the same durability and strength as the top layer.
Shaved leather - regular quality: Shaved leather consists of utilized residues that appear in connection with tanning and processing of the leather.
