Leather Care

All L.S.D. Bags are made with fine, high quality Italian made materials. Please refer to each garment's individual care tag for specific care instructions. For additional questions regarding care please contact your local leather goods repair shop. .

 

Vegetable tanned leather

Our Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather is a classic leather that shows its wear beautifully over time. It is warm, it is strong, and it is personal. It will not remain pristine and sleek, and although scratching will occur, we do not view these marks as defects. It is completely natural, meaning it is naked, with no synthetic top finishes. The surface of Vegetable Tanned leather will change over time, and exposure. While we recommend avoiding rain, the patina created by daily wear-and-tear is meant to change and evolve over time. Our natural colorways such as Cognac and Maude will slowly darken over time due to exposure to the sun. For advice on general maintenance and care, the best option is to take your bag to a trusted leather goods repair shop. To care for the bag at home, you can find commercial products in drugstores to clean and polish the leather.

 

Suede

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.

 

Tumble leather

Our Italian Tumbled Leather is a soft, rich leather with a pebbled finish, achieved through a natural softening process called milling. It is strong and resilient; though general leather care is still recommended. We recommend occasionally treating this leather with a leather conditioner, which will help keep it hydrated. For lighter colors in this material we recommend avoiding exposure to dark denim or other dark fabrics with loose dye, as the leather could be subject to color transfer or stains.
