Care for sanded leather

The sustainably tanned leather in the HEAVENLY MEADOW and AMELIE'S NETTLE BED series is very finely sanded on the surface. This creates an irresistible, velvety feel. High-quality waxes contribute to the leather developing an individual patina over time. If you prefer to do without, you can use a soft leather brush from time to time. Brushing also keeps the leather supple and flexible. Additional protection against moisture and sunlight is provided by waterproofing sprays with UV protection.

Care for waxed semi-aniline leather

The following care tips can be applied to the vast majority of a&u series. If you are unsure or have further questions about product care or repair, our bag doctor will be happy to help you personally at any time. Just write to us at taschendoktor@auntsanduncles.de! Open-pored leather is characterized by its natural surface, which emphasizes the unique structure of the leather. With the occasional application of a lotion for open-pored genuine leather you can nourish, impregnate and protect the leather of your bag. Never apply the leather care directly to the leather, instead apply a small amount to a soft cotton cloth. Apply the care carefully from stitch to stitch. It is best to always test the treatment on a hidden area first. A slight darkening due to the care products cannot be avoided. However, this usually settles after a short period of wear. UPCYCLING-TIP: Cut an old cotton shirt to size and use it to apply the leather lotion.

Hunter leather care

These care tips are best for our HUNTER and GOOD OLD FRIENDS series. Using the bags will cause them to develop a patina. To help this, we recommend not applying any care products at the beginning. To protect the leather from heavy rain or dirt, it can be treated with waxy waterproofing sprays for open-pored genuine leather. If the leather becomes lighter and brittle after some time due to the loss of nutrients, leather grease for open-pored genuine leather is suitable for care. The application should always be done sparingly. A test treatment on a hidden area is recommended beforehand. Polishing is not necessary after application, thus the leather remains matt. Please make sure that the grease is completely absorbed before you use your bag again! The best way to do this is to leave it overnight at room temperature. UPCYCLING TIP: Cut an old cotton shirt, for example, and use it to apply the leather grease.

Care of canvas or twill bags and backpacks

To avoid scratches, the PU-coated canvas of the JAPAN and JAPAN NISHI series should be dusted with a soft cloth from time to time. Superficial dirt can be removed with a soft, colorless cloth, water and mild soap or dish soap. PU cleaner is also suitable for cleaning. Strong friction should be avoided. A PU care product is suitable for the care of the canvas. Please note: No leather care lotions or other greasy products such as oils and waxes should be applied to the coated canvas, as this can damage the coating. This also includes disinfectants and cleaning agents containing alcohol. The twill fabric of the leather-cotton mix variant in THE BARBER SHOP line can also be cleaned of superficial dirt with a soft, damp cotton cloth. The occasional application of a lotion for open-pored genuine leather ensures that the leather surfaces/applications in the JAPAN, THE BARBER SHOP and FUSION series remain supple.
