AT 1812, EVERY MATERIAL IS CHOSEN FOR ITS CHARACTER, BEAUTY AND ABILITY TO ENDURE. NAPPA LEATHER IS AMONG THE MOST REFINED OF THEM ALL — CELEBRATED FOR ITS SOFTNESS, DEPTH OF COLOUR AND NATURAL ELEGANCE. IT IS A FULL GRAIN ANILINE LEATHER, LEFT FREE OF HEAVY SURFACE COATINGS TO SHOWCASE ITS NATURAL GRAIN AND TEXTURE. THIS PURITY MAKES IT BEAUTIFUL TO THE EYE AND LUXURIOUSLY SOFT TO THE TOUCH, BUT ALSO MORE POROUS AND VULNERABLE TO THE EFFECTS OF WATER AND DAILY WEAR. CARING FOR IT CORRECTLY IS ESSENTIAL.
BEFORE ANY TREATMENT, REMOVE SURFACE DUST WITH A DEDICATED HORSEHAIR BRUSH — BRUSH LIGHTLY TO LIFT PARTICLES WITHOUT SCUFFING THE LEATHER. APPLY NAPPA CREAM WITH A CLEAN CLOTH, WORKING IN A LIGHT BACK AND FORTH MOTION AND PAYING ATTENTION TO FOLDS AND FLEX POINTS. ONCE ABSORBED, BUFF GENTLY WITH A FRESH CLOTH TO REMOVE EXCESS AND ENCOURAGE A NATURAL SHEEN. FINALLY, APPLY A WATERPROOFING TREATMENT TO SHIELD THE LEATHER FROM RAIN, DIRT AND GREASE — ALLOW TO DRY COMPLETELY BEFORE WEARING.
AT 1812, WE BELIEVE THAT CARING FOR FINE LEATHER IS NOT MERELY A MATTER OF PRESERVATION. IT IS AN EXTENSION OF CRAFTSMANSHIP — A WAY OF HONOURING THE ARTISTRY AND TRADITION THAT WENT INTO ITS CREATION.
