Care

CALF LEATHER

LZL Italian Calf Leather is a smooth, refined leather with a polished finishing. The leather is still prone to occasional scratching if not handled with proper care.  We recommend occasionally treating this leather with a leather conditioner, which will help keep it hydrated. To prevent the leather from developing marks, we recommend avoiding exposure to abrasive surfaces and always taking care to store the item properly in its dust bag when not in use. For lighter colours in this material we also recommend avoiding exposure to dark denim or other dark fabrics with loose dye, as the leather could be subject to colour transfer or stains.

LAMB LEATHER

Our Italian lambskin is an ultra-smooth, buttery leather with a polished finishing. Lambskin is recognised for both its soft texture and longevity. This material is prone to occasional scratching if not handled with proper care. Always treat your piece with a leather conditioner to keep it hydrated. Avoid exposure to abrasive surfaces and always take care to store the item in its dust bag. For lighter colours, we also recommend avoiding exposure to dark denim or other dark fabrics with loose dye, as the leather could be subject to transfer or stains.

PATENT LEATHER

Our Italian Patent Leather is a coated leather with a shiny, lustrous finish.  The surface is water resistant. However we don't recommend exposing the product to large amounts of water, and always dry with a cloth when wet. We highly recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to hot temperatures, as it will soften the leather.

Store the item inside its dust bag, and most importantly always protect the Patent from touching the leather internal lining. The DOUBLE BAG, SADDLE BAG and BOX BAG will need special care and attention. Please use the paper provided to protect the the two leathers from touching.

Patent can absorb foreign dye or ink if in contact with loose dyes.  If the leather develops any scuffs or marks, we recommend lightly cleaning the surface with a damp cloth.

SUEDE LEATHER

Our Italian Suede Leather is a soft, delicate leather with a velvet like finish. Darker and vibrantly colored suedes may stain lighter colored clothing and other materials if placed in close contact.  To prolong the life of your suede leather product we recommend pre-treating the leather with a suede protectant and avoiding exposure to water or other liquids.  We also recommend occasionally treating the leather with a suede brush, which can help smooth any marks or indentations on the surface.
