Note: Full grain leather is a natural material, which may have small traces, veins or marks that are inherent to the material. Scratches can easily be removed by gently rubbing them with a cloth soaked in vegetable oil. The color of the leather may vary slightly depending on the batch.

Oil-treated leather products can by nature be prone to color transfer onto light fabrics. To avoid this, make sure to dry your leather if it gets wet and try to avoid contact with light fabrics. However, if you notice any stains, don't worry, they will disappear in the wash.
