    No.01Structured Calf Leather

    Smooth bovine leather is known for its soft, luxurious touch and subtle sheen. With use, it will subtly evolve in colour and texture, adding quiet depth to its finish. We work with two typologies of smooth skin leather. The Hortensia uses the structured typology.

    01 Wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep the surface smooth and luminous.

    02 Although our calf leathers are treated for water protection, they retain a natural finish. Overexposure to water should be avoided.

    03 If your bag gets wet, gently remove any moisture with a dry cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Never use heat.

    04 With time, small creases may form and the colour may shift subtly, natural signs of the leather’s evolution and character.

    05 To treat light scratches or wear, apply a small amount of leather cream, natural or colour-matched,  to the affected area.

    06 Polish with a clean, dry cotton cloth to restore the natural shine and remove any excess before use.

    07 Always test the leather cream on a discreet area first to ensure the colour and finish are suitable.

    08 Avoid using leather cream on matte leathers, as it may create a light sheen.

    09 For lighter colours, avoid contact with darker fabrics or materials prone to dye transfer, such as denim.

    10 Store your bag in its dust bag in an upright position with paper stuffing, ensuring all straps and chains are placed inside. Keep away from heat, direct sunlight, and humidity.

    Our Care Kit for smooth & crusted leather is the perfect tool to best maintain your leather bag.

    No.02Crust Calf Leather

    Tumbled soft calfskin leather, LGW certified. In general grained or crust leather is less sensitive for scratches making it a more durable option. Grained leather is naturally durable yet refined. Its surface may develop small variations with wear,  subtle signs of its authenticity and craftsmanship.

  • No.03Suede Calf Leather

    No.03Suede Calf Leather

    Suede is Italian calf leather, with LWG certification which is a unique and delicate material. Avoid contact with light-coloured clothing or upholstery, as dye transfer may occur. Because our leathers have a natural finish, we recommend avoiding excessive exposure to water. Should your bag get wet, gently remove any surface moisture with a dry cloth and allow it to dry naturally — never use heat.

    Water drops may temporarily darken the suede but can return to their original tone once fully dry. If marks remain, lightly brush the surface with a soft suede brush made of nylon or other gentle bristles to even out the texture and restore its velvety finish.

    Available in Space Suede, Beige Suede, Palissander Suede, Acai Suede, Olive Suede, Tan Suede, and Cognac Suede.

    01 Wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep your bag looking fresh and luminous.


    02 Do not overload your bag — allow it to maintain its natural shape and structure.


    03 Avoid contact with darker materials or clothing, as colour may transfer onto the leather.


    04 Use a conditioner specifically formulated for suede to nourish and protect the surface.


    05 Store your bag in its dust bag to minimize exposure to dust, light, and humidity.


    06 Protect from direct sunlight, heat, and damp environments.


    07 Avoid contact with grease, mud, dirt, rough surfaces, and rain.


    08 Extra care should be taken with white and light-coloured handbags.


    09 To remove stains from suede, use a soft pencil eraser or fine-grade sandpaper. Gently rub the affected area until the stain clears.


    10 Take your bag to a professional suede cleaner once a year for deeper care.
