Our leather is designed to age beautifully, developing a rich patina that reflects its natural origins and your own journey with it. Because we avoid using heavy coatings or synthetic finishes, the leather is not completely waterproof. We recommend gently wiping away any rain or liquid as soon as possible and nourishing it regularly with a natural leather conditioner. Using a natural conditioner helps to protect the surface, prevent drying or cracking, and enhance the depth of colour and patina over time. Please note that some colour transfer may occur, particularly when the leather or suede comes into contact with light-coloured fabrics — we suggest avoiding vigorous rubbing. With continued care and mindful use, your Parnassus piece will grow softer, more characterful, and uniquely yours — a reflection of true, lasting quality.
