TO TREASURE FOR EVER

British natural vegetable tanned bridle leather takes on a patina with use, handling and age. An occasional application of a proprietary leather wax shoe polish with a soft cloth or soft bristle brush and rubbed in with a different soft clean cloth or soft bristle brush is recommended, just as you would with a pair of leather shoes. This will extend the product’s life and encourage a rich patina. Do not use oil or any oil based products. For water spills, absorb the excess liquid gently with a clean cloth or paper towel and leave to dry naturally. Do not rush the drying process or leave to dry on a radiator, in the sun or in any other direct heat source. For any liquid other than water, pour a little water over the affected area to help run-off the liquid and proceed as you would for a water spillage. Once completely dry, the piece may benefit from an application of polish.
