THIS IS HOW YOU IMPREGNATE YOUR BAG BEFORE WEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Shake the bottle.
2. Spray on a thin layer from a distance of approximately 10-15 cm. Massage the liquid into the fibers with a lint-free cloth. Wait 2 minutes and repeat the process. Tip: For an even more effective result, repeat the process after 20 minutes and dry with a hair dryer.
3. Allow the surface to dry for 24 hours to achieve optimal effectiveness
IMPORTANT: Always test on a small area first. Do not use on metallic or coated leather, as this may damage the material!
ITALIAN LEATHER
Our bags are made exclusively from high-quality Italian leather, distinguished by its quality and unique soft feel and appearance. In addition to our classic grained leather, we offer more than 12 different types of leather. Each type of leather is produced differently and therefore requires individual care.

TREATED LEATHER
Dark colors generally do not need any additional protection. For light colors, we recommend the Friiz Protector, especially on the back of the Main Bag and on the flaps. With pre-treatment using the Friiz Protector , the leather can be cleaned relatively easily with the Friiz Cleanser if discoloration occurs.

SMOOTH LEATHER WITH METALLIC EFFECT
Please make sure that no solvents of any kind come into contact with the metallic surfaces, as they dissolve and damage the surface like paint remover, making the damage irreparable.
For the metallic effect, a film is applied to the leather using heat and pressure. Since it acts as a protective layer, metallic surfaces generally do not need any additional protection and do not need to be waterproofed.

Suede leather
Since suede (rough leather) is more sensitive than smooth leather - especially rain, oils, and liquids can easily penetrate its velvety surface and be absorbed - we recommend using the Friiz Protector as directed for protection.

SUEDE WITH GLITTER EFFECT
Impregnation can reduce the glitter effect and make it look dull. We therefore do not necessarily recommend it. However, please note that this leather should not be worn in rain or snow.

SMOOTH LEATHER
Dark colors generally do not need any extra protection. For light colors, we recommend the Friiz Protector, especially on the back of the Main Bag and on the flaps. With advance protection from the Friiz Protector , the leather can be cleaned relatively easily again in the event of discoloration using the Friiz Cleanser .

CRACKLED LEATHER WITH METALLIC EFFECT
Please ensure that no solvents of any kind come into contact with the metallic surfaces, as they dissolve and destroy the surface like paint stripper, which is then irreparable. To create the metallic effect, a film is applied to the leather using heat and pressure. Since it acts as a protective layer, metallic surfaces generally do not require additional protection and do not need to be waterproofed.

CRINKLE LEATHER WITH METALLIC EFFECT
Please make sure that no solvents of any kind come into contact with the metallic surfaces, as they dissolve and destroy the surface like paint stripper, making the damage irreparable. To create the metallic effect, a film is applied to the leather using heat and pressure. Since it acts as a protective layer, metallic surfaces generally do not require additional protection and do not need to be impregnated.

Patent leather
Harsh rubbing or cleaning agents can damage the painted coating. If soiled, carefully wipe with a slightly damp cloth without cleaning agents. They are protected by a coating so that they do not bleed. Important: This coating can cause other materials to bleed and create discoloration that can no longer be removed. Storage: Ideally, store in white tissue paper in the box. Should not come into contact with plastic film.

EMBOSSED LEATHER IN CROCO LOOK
Heavy scrubbing or cleaning agents can damage the coating. If dirty, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth without cleaning agents.

Leather with a snakeskin look
Strong scrubbing or cleaning agents can damage the coating. If soiled, carefully wipe with a slightly damp cloth without cleaning agents.

PRINTED COWHIDE
We recommend impregnating the cowhide with the Friiz Protector . Important: Do not rub too vigorously and only dab lightly, otherwise the hide will become very stiff.

EMBROIDERY
Since suede (rough leather) with embroidery is more delicate than smooth leather - especially rain, grease, and liquids can easily penetrate its velvety surface and be absorbed - we recommend using the Friiz Protector as directed for protection. However, be sure to apply it by dabbing only and not rub too vigorously, as this could otherwise pull threads.
The most frequently asked questions
Leather is a natural product and may vary slightly in appearance and feel. Like our skin, it does not absorb colors or embossing in exactly the same way everywhere. Therefore, slight visual variations in color or pattern may occasionally occur. These irregularities are characteristic of high-quality leather.
For our changeable flaps with a snakeskin print, the snakeskin pattern is printed and embossed onto our high-quality leather. All pattern pieces are positioned on the hide to use the leather as efficiently as possible and minimize waste. Therefore, it is not possible to control how the pattern will ultimately appear on the flap - making each flap a truly unique piece.
