To ensure the longevity of a clasp made from vegetable-tanned buffalo leather, please observe the following care instructions: - Cleaning: Regularly remove dust and dirt with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaners, solvents, or alcohol.
- Protection from moisture: If the leather gets wet, pat it dry and allow it to dry slowly at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, as this can cause the leather to become brittle.
- Conditioning and re-oiling: Treat the leather every 3 to 6 months with a high-quality, natural leather balm (e.g., based on beeswax or almond oil) to keep it supple.
- Color retention: Preferably use oil-free care products to prevent excessive darkening and to preserve the natural patina.
- Storage: Store the product in a dry, dark place in a breathable fabric bag, never in plastic.
