Care guide

A dry, soft microfibre cloth, once or twice a week. Wipe in the direction of the grain to lift dust before it settles.

Apply a thin coat of a neutral leather conditioner with a clean cloth. Buff lightly after 10 minutes. We use Saphir Médaille d'Or in the studio — most pH-neutral conditioners work as well.

Blot — don't rub — with a dry towel and let the bag air-dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun. Once dry, condition immediately to restore the natural oils.

When you're not using a piece, stuff the interior loosely with the dust bag it came in (or acid-free tissue), then store it inside the outer cotton bag. Avoid sealed plastic — leather needs air.

Our solid brass develops a warm patina over time. To keep it bright, buff occasionally with a soft cloth and a touch of brass polish — but most of our customers come to love the aged look.

• Alcohol, solvents, baby wipes
• Prolonged direct sunlight
