Butter soft & pleasant in the hand

Fettleder

Material properties:

Waxed leather is particularly durable, flexible, and long-lasting due to its waxing, as well as soft and grippy. Furthermore, it is relatively insensitive to moisture but should not be kept wet for long periods.

Additionally, the material is a natural product with a unique structure. Small scars or irregularities are characteristic and emphasize the natural look. Color variations are possible, as each leather hide absorbs color individually. Over time, the leather becomes more supple and may stretch slightly.

Through the natural aging process, the leather darkens and develops an individual patina that enhances its appearance. Scratches may become visible quickly but can usually be minimized by gently rubbing with a finger or conditioning.

Butter soft & pleasant in the hand

Fettleder

Care Instructions:

Regular Cleaning: Wipe off dirt with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents.

Refreshing: If the leather looks dull or dry, treat it with a special leather wax or leather care product. Use sparingly to avoid oversaturating the material.

Balancing Scratches: Reduce scratches by gently rubbing with a finger or cloth. The natural warmth and oils from your skin help to smooth the surface.

No Complete Soaking: If the leather gets wet, allow it to dry slowly in the air, not in the sun or on a radiator.

Tauseil

Messing

Material properties:

Brass is very robust, scratch-resistant, and does not rust, making it excellent for permanent use. It may darken due to oxidation and form a natural protective layer.

Light discolorations can be polished away with lemon juice or vinegar
and a soft cloth, restoring the original shine.
