Leather Surfaces and Patina

Patina is a gradual change in a material's appearance through age and use. On some leathers this may show as shifts in sheen, tone or surface character; other finishes are designed to keep a more consistent appearance.

Patina is not guaranteed and does not develop in the same way on every leather. Product construction, finish and daily habits all matter.

If you prefer a surface that develops character, read the product's material and finish description carefully. If you prefer a more uniform look, ask how the finish is expected to respond to handling and wear.

Product photos show a particular item under particular lighting. Small differences in colour and texture can occur, so use the written specifications as well as imagery.

Keep leather away from prolonged moisture, intense heat and harsh chemicals. If the item becomes wet, follow its care instructions and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat.

Test any cleaner or conditioner on a discreet area only when the product's care guidance permits it. When uncertain, contact the maker before applying a treatment.
