A bit about leather...
The beauty of the leather’s patina will change over time, aging and darkening with use, so regular cleaning and re-waxing is recommended to keep it looking its best. Waxing will protect the marbling too - see my Leather + Leather Care page for more information.
The Oak bark veg-tanned full grain leather is intact, with some natural marks and imperfections on the surface of the hide. The hides sourced from Devon and Cornish herds, a sustainable by-product from the food industry and 100% compostable at the end of its long life, makes this an eco-conscious product.
