Leather products have always been valued for their durability and strength, which cannot be compared to other natural materials. That's why GRANDE PELLE produces accessories exclusively from leather, and each product is created by hand. In this article, we will tell you about the types of leather we use for bags, wallets and other accessories, as well as share recommendations for their care.
5 recommendations for Crazy horse skin care
Most of our products are made from high quality cattle leather. Due to its density, this leather does not require lining, which makes it ideal for the production of wallets, cases, bags and backpacks. We offer a wide range of colors so that every customer can find an accessory to their liking. A special feature of this leather is its vintage look. It is easily scratched, creased and pressed, which only adds to its unique charm. In addition, this leather has the ability to stretch, which makes it even more comfortable to use.
The skin needs special care:
-
Light soiling can be easily removed with a slightly damp soft cloth or cellulose wipes. Dampen the cloth and gently wipe the scratched area.
-
Small and shallow scratches can be made less noticeable by gently rubbing them with your fingertips.
-
Avoid using damp wipes to remove scratches, as the alcohol in them can damage the surface of the product.
-
Do not allow the product to get very wet. If the leather does get wet, dry it naturally, avoiding batteries and hair dryers.
-
It is recommended to periodically treat the skin with special products. This will help it maintain its attractive appearance and extend its service life.
Attention: At first, the skin may stain light-colored items.
Flotar - care secrets
Flotard leather has a unique embossed surface after tanning, which gives the products a special charm. We use this leather to create items in colors such as pink, powder, red, and black. Flotard is valued not only for its textured surface, but also for its softness, breathability, strength, and elasticity. Caring for products made of flotard leather is similar to caring for crust and crazy horse leather.
For prevention, if the leather begins to fade, it can be refreshed by wiping it with orange peel. This simple technique will give the product a refreshed look.
How to care for Sicilia skin: key tips
-
Care: Sicilia leather needs regular cleaning. To do so, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface to remove dust and light dirt.
-
Removing stains: If stains appear on the skin, gently clean them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive wetting of the leather, as this may affect its structure.
-
Preventing scratches: Sicilia is sensitive to scratches, so try to avoid contact with sharp objects. For minor scratches, use a special leather product or gently rub the scratched area with your fingers to make it less noticeable.
-
Avoid excessive moisture: Do not allow Sicilia leather products to get wet. If the leather does get wet, dry it naturally, away from direct heat sources.
Vegetable tanned leather
Vegetable tanned leather is durable and environmentally friendly, which makes products made from it extremely resistant and wear-resistant. These properties are due to tannins extracted from tree bark, roots and leaves. The main processing process involves soaking the leather in natural tanning agents and then processing it in a drum. This type of leather is even used in equestrian accessories such as saddles, harnesses, etc., where the products are subjected to the greatest stress.
For vegetable tanned leather to retain its strength and beauty for many years, two rules are important:
-
Avoid getting the product too wet. Water leaches out natural oils, which makes the leather less durable.
-
To clean and protect against drying out, periodically wipe the leather with a slightly damp soft cloth.
Remember to store leather goods in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Do not put leather items in plastic bags. To preserve the shape of the bags, it is recommended to fill them with paper.
