Leather & Leather Care Guide

All about our leathers & leather care...

Here at töhl, we manufacture and source fine leathers, made more beautiful by age and care.
We  ensure that only the highest quality materials find their way into our products. Using a range of specialised treatments and finishes combined with laborious handcraft techniques, we treat our handpicked leathers with artisanal respect, ensuring that all processes meet global standards. Find out more about the leathers we work with:

Soft Nappa Leather

This is a full grain, aniline leather that retains its natural surface texture. With a plain optic and a soft but supple form, our products made from this leather are durable and comfortable to use.

Soft Vitello Leather

Silky Nappa Leather

Characterised by its smooth finish and subtle temper, silky nappa is an extra soft leather. Thin and supple, it has a delicate buttery texture and lends itself well to two tone colour effects. The pearlized versions add a lustre resembling the sheen of mother of pearl. 

Suede

Leathers that have had their underside buffed to give them a fine, velvety nap are called suede. Lightweight, soft and silky, this leather adds interesting textures and accents to töhl products. Colours are particularly vibrant and bright on these surfaces.

Soft Metallic Nappa

Abrasion resistant and glossy, metallic nappa is a soft leather with a metallic finish achieved by adding a laminate. It is distinctive and modern in its colour effect.

Embossed Leather

A decorative grain or pattern is applied to the surface of the finished leather to create embossed leathers. Sourced from Europe, these are treated to give them unique visual effects.

Antique Distressed Leather

This finish is designed to give the leather a classic vintage look, with patterns that have an aged or distressed feel. Incorporating a two tone colour effect with a subtle sheen, our antique distressed leathers have a rich textured optic.

Patent Leather 

Patent leather is leather with a lacquer finish, giving it a glossy, reflective surface. Its flexibility and shine make it stylish and versatile; particularly sought after for handbags, accessories and shoes for formal occasions. At töhl we source the best quality patent leathers from Italy in mirror smooth colours, as well as embossed versions.  

Care for your leather product : 

• Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe your bag clean every other day.

• For stubborn marks or dirt, use a damp cloth and a suitable leather cleaner.

• Like our skin, leather accessories need to be moisturised occasionally. Use a soft, damp cloth to apply a small amount of leather conditioner or moisturiser to your bag, gently wiping it along the grain to rehydrate the leather.

• Leather needs to breathe. When you’re not using your töhl product, keep it in its original cloth bag in a well-ventilated room – don’t store it inside plastic or other nonporous materials. 

• Keep your bag stuffed with the butter paper it came with, or bag fillers, to help preserve its shape.

• Don’t overfill your bag, clutch or wallet. Leather has the ability to stretch and mould to fit, but once it expands, it will never go back to its original shape.

• Allow a wet product to dry slowly and naturally in a well-ventilated space. Do not use a hair dryer on your leather product, or place it near a heater to dry it, as this changes the chemical structure of the leather and leaves it stiff and creased.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
