What is leather patina ?

Patina is the result of wear and exposure to the elements. It appears as darker shades, marks, and a smoother texture. Each item, depending on how it’s used, develops its own unique patina.

Factors

- Leather quality: Full-grain, untreated leather develops patina faster and more beautifully than corrected leather.
- Exposure: Sunlight, humidity, friction… all of these affect the leather’s color variations.
- Usage: A wallet in your pocket or a belt worn daily will develop patina faster than a bag used occasionally.
- Care: Regularly nourishing the leather helps it stay supple and develop a rich, vibrant patina rather than a dull one.

Preserving your leather’s patina

To preserve and enhance this patina, simple care is all that’s needed. Nourish and polish your accessories with a leather cream, and they will maintain their natural shine.

Patina is a bit like a signature that time leaves on your accessories. With just a few simple steps, your leather items become more beautiful with every use, letting you enjoy them even more every day!
