Question 1

What is Vintage Leather?

Accepted Answer

Vintage Leather is Full Grain Aniline Leather with natural looking and unique surface characteristics of the hide which remain visible.

Each vintage leather piece is unique, showing natural markings such as pores, wrinkles, and even minor scars. These characteristics enhance their natural beauty.

Question 2

Can you give me any tips on how to care for my leather seat?

Accepted Answer

Vintage Leather is highly sensitive to UV light because only a very mild and light surface coating is applied on the hide. Therefore, keep the product away from direct sunlight, or bright indirect sunlight. Heat should also be avoided to prevent the colour from fading and drying out.

Question 3

How do I clean my Vintage Leather?

Accepted Answer

For general cleaning: lightly dust your product with a soft, clean cloth that's slightly damp. You may also use a leather care product that's specifically for Aniline Leather.

For spots and stains: Clean with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Use mild soaps to remove stubborn stains.

Additional notes:
Do not use harsh cleaners or polish, as it will damage it's durability.

It is important to clean the entire area or panel, not just rubbing on a spot. This way, the area will look more uniform after it dries.

Please allow the product to air dry naturally. Do not use a hair dryer or heat gun.

Question 4

How often should I clean my Vintage Leather?

Accepted Answer

The salts and body oils occurring natural in human skin can damage the surface of the leather if left uncleaned for lengthy periods. Therefore, it's important that you clean your product every 3-4 months to prevent perspiration, body oils, and dirt from bring embedded in the leather grain which can cause it to crack and peel.

Only use Aniline leather care kits or products to clean, and follow the instructions provided carefully.
