Vegetable-tanned leather care
Leather care
Vegetable-tanned full-grain leather is a living material that naturally evolves with time. To preserve its beauty and character, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to humidity, excessive heat, or direct sunlight. In case of contact with water, allow the leather to dry naturally at room temperature, without a direct heat source.

humidity, excessive heat, or direct sunlight. If it comes into contact with water, let the leather air dry naturally at room temperature, away from any direct heat source.
Taking care of your leather — 5 essential steps
01 — Dust
Wipe the entire item with a soft, dry cloth before each product application. Clean leather absorbs better.
02 — Nourish
Apply a thin layer of natural wax (Saphir Crème Universelle) in circular motions. Let it penetrate for 10 minutes, then polish with a clean cloth.
03 — Frequency
2 to 3 times a year is sufficient. In case of intensive use or after exposure to rain, nourish once completely dry.
04 — In case of a stain
Dab without rubbing. For a grease stain, apply talcum powder, let it sit for 12 hours, then brush gently. Never use household detergents.
05 — Preserve the patina
Wear your item. The patina develops with your movements and light — this is what makes each MRLM piece unique over time.
