Drying wet leather


Should your leather product get wet, allow it to dry slowly at room temperature. You can dab the item with a clean, light-colored cloth, but don’t attempt to speed up the drying process with a hairdryer or any other heat source.

About vachetta
Vachetta is a vegetable-tanned leather that turns a charming dark color with age. Leather care products may speed up the change. The patina protects vachetta items, but because it is otherwise untreated, it is sensitive to moisture, dirt and scrapes. Store your vachetta product in a cotton pouch.
