The handbag leather
Our bags are made of French leather from our saddles leather scraps. The leather grain is not altered during tanning process to guarantee its exclusive softness and resistance. Due to our choices on the leather waste, it might happen that bags leather does not seem as smooth as on some other products. A treatment with a nourishing balm will help to conceal the appearance of skin irregularities and will give the leather an attractive aspect.
Leather recycling for our leather goods range
Our entire range of leather goods is produced from our leather offcuts. No leather has been specifically bought for these items and each piece of leather is cleverly re-used to its best advantage, to design our products. Clearly, using leather offcuts doesn’t detract from Antarès standards of excellence. All the initial quality of our leather is preserved as we don’t correct the grain, which gives the leather its appealing irregularities.
How to maintain your bag?
Due to our choices to avoid wasting leather, the leather of our bag may appear less smooth than that used in other product ranges. The leather on this bag is untreated, so we recommend waterproofing before use.
Saddle soap
To maintain the leather strength and suppleness, clean your bag with our soap and a damp sponge.
Leather conditioner
The application of a quality conditioner will attenuate any visual irregularities and give it a beautiful appearance, making its colour a little darker. Once or twice a month, moisturize your clean leather with the conditioner. To do this, use a clean tissue or sponge.
Leather oil
Once or twice a year, soften your bag with our leather oil. Apply the product with a brush.
