How to Care for Each Type of Leather
Share
Buttero Leather Care
Buttero is a full-grain vegetable-tanned leather known for its smooth density and subtle sheen.
Its charm lies in the graceful aging process, so we recommend using it without any conditioner during the initial stage.
After 2–3 months, if the surface feels dry, apply a small amount of vegetable leather conditioner.
For even aging, regularly wipe away dust and gently buff out light scratches with a microfiber cloth.
Note: For light-colored versions like the “Blue Whale” theme, stains may be more noticeable—handle with clean hands and use a leather cleaner if needed.
Ecbatana Leather Care
Ecbatana is a full-grain vegetable-tanned leather that shows dramatic and distinct aging.
Avoid using any conditioner in the beginning. Apply only when dryness becomes noticeable.
The surface is sensitive to scratches, but most marks will gradually blend in through hand oils and natural friction over time.
Minerva Box Leather Care
Minerva Box is a soft, milled leather with a subtle grain and a smooth touch.
Frequent handling is ideal, but avoid over-polishing.
While it resists scratches well, it is more prone to pressure marks—store carefully and avoid contact with pointed objects.
The leather is rich in internal oils, so conditioners are not needed initially.
If dryness occurs, lightly apply a vegetable leather conditioner.
For regular care, use a soft dry cloth or brush. Avoid using wet cloths.
Pueblo Leather Care
Pueblo features a soft, matte texture and is known for its dramatic aging into a glossy, rich surface.
No special care is required, but since it can absorb oils and moisture from the hands, always handle with clean hands.
After around 2–3 months, if the surface begins to feel dry, apply a small amount of vegetable-tanned leather conditioner.
Sully Leather Care
Sully is a durable cowhide with a characteristic grain and natural resistance to scratches and stains.
It requires minimal care—simply wipe off dust with a dry cloth and remove any moisture immediately.
Conditioners or creams are generally not necessary.
If the shine fades after extended use, a small amount of vegetable leather coating agent may be applied to restore luster.
Bridle Leather Care
Bridle leather is Tallow-infused—processed with a blend of fish oil and beef fat that penetrates deep into the leather fibers.
The white film on the surface is crystallized tallow, which can be gently buffed with a soft cloth to reveal a natural sheen.
It can be used without any conditioning, but if desired, a small amount of J&E Sedgwick bridle leather conditioner is recommended.
Tochigi Summer Oil Leather Care
Tochigi Summer Oil leather is known for its distinctive texture and atmosphere.
It’s best broken in slowly with clean hands.
Rich in internal oils, it does not require any additional conditioner.
However, it is sensitive to friction, pressure, and folding—marks may not recover easily.
Avoid wiping with wet cloths, and store in a well-ventilated area away from moisture.
Oil Cordovan Leather Care
Oil Cordovan is a dense leather rich in natural oils, requiring little to no maintenance in normal use.
Wipe off dust occasionally using a dry microfiber cloth.
If the surface feels dry after prolonged use, apply a small amount of cordovan-specific conditioner.
Never use water or cleaners containing alcohol.
