Our Leathers
All leather used by The Postbox comes from tanneries rated Gold or Silver for their environmental work by the Leather Working Group. LWG is an international organization working to improve environmental performance in the leather industry. They do this by auditing tanneries to check if they are working according to best practices in the industry. Our Leathers are a by-product of the meat industry. All the leathers we use have been aniline dyed so as to preserve the natural characteristics of the material. We know what it takes to create a quality leather product. Our aim through The Postbox is to offer high quality premium leather goods which will age well over time.
The Genuineness of Leathers
Genuine leathers age gracefully over time and ours is no less. It also depends upon the way it has been used and the environments it has been exposed to. To go in line with one of our core values of delivering consistency, we run periodic quality tests on the materials we use.
When Leather gets wet
Dry it slowly under a fan and at room temperature. Do not take the easy way out and use a blow dryer or any other device which quickens the process. It would change the properties of the leather used for your product.
When Leather gets dry
Take a soft cloth and apply a leather cream on it. From there on, rub the soft cloth in a uniform motion across the patch of leather. Make sure the cloth is clean.
When Leather gets dirty
Use a mild damp cloth. For tough stains, we would advise solutions or treatments specifically designed to remove stains and not the leather’s dye
