Our furniture is constructed to very high standards
from carefully selected materials
Full grain leather is easy to care for and unlike many other
fabrics, real leather has a natural resilience to wear, more
or less taking care of itself. There are a few things you
can do however, to ensure its long lasting pleasure:
MAKE SURE THAT THE LEATHER doesn't dry out, as this will
affect its suppleness and softness of touch
AVOID EXPOSING THE LEATHER TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT for
prolonged periods of time. The sunlight will bleach both the leather
and the wood. Protect it where possible by drawing the blinds or
curtains
WATCH OUT FOR SHARP OBJECTS like toys, jewellery,
buckles on shoes, pet claws as these can score the leather
BEWARE OF PLACING THE LEATHER too near to direct
strong heat sources such as open fires, heat outlets, open windows,
or sources of damp
LIGHTER COLOURS will wear just as well as darker
ones, but will need to be cleaned slightly more often

DO NOT ALLOW GRIT AND DIRT to build up to excessive levels as this
could have an abrasive affect
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Over a period of time all leather will be inclined to stretch, this
may lead to the opening of the pleats, do not worry it is not a
fault, it is a common occurrence especially in deep buttoned cushioned
upholstery
The cushions will also form creases, again this is a natural occurrence
of the leather as it stretches slightly and in no way affects the
quality of the furniture
Your suite is designed to be sat in comfort, so use it properly
for that purpose. Sitting on the edge of cushions or the arms and
backs may cause premature wear and distortion of the padding and
leather
If your furniture is in constant use, all reversible cushions should
be turned daily and positions changed where possible, this will
prevent excessive soiling and wear to one side
Do not place plastic or rubber materials directly on the wood finish.
Chemicals in the plastic and some rubber may soften and thus injure
the finish if left in contact with the furniture for a long period
of time. To avoid these markings, place a strip of felt, leather,
or cork under tray accessories, etc
