The grade above is the grade you receive. Full-grain means the grain layer is intact; split leather and recycled leather fibre are named as such wherever they are used, and no synthetic surface is ever described as leather.
Honest limits
- Water
- Water-repellent, not waterproof. The leather sheds brief light rain and splashes; sustained rain, immersion or a soaked seam will let water through. Seams and zips are not sealed.
- Load
- Handles and straps are rated for normal daily use up to a suggested 8 kg. That is a usage recommendation, not a destructive test limit, and it is not a guarantee against deformation.
- Natural variation
- Grain, pores, shade differences and growth marks are characteristics of hide, not defects. Vegetable-tanned leather darkens with light and use.
- Skin contact
- Tanning agents and dyes can trigger contact allergies in individual cases. We do not claim the material is hypoallergenic.
- Chemical compliance
- Tanning conforms to REACH Annex XVII, including the chromium VI limit of 3 mg/kg and the azo dye restrictions. Supplier declarations are held on file and available on request to support@duxlederwaren.shop.
Care
- Wipe with a dry, soft cloth after wet weather; dry away from direct heat.
- Condition two to four times a year with a colourless leather balm.
- Store loosely filled, upright, out of direct sun.
