Please Note

Leather is a natural material, and variations in colour, grain, texture, wrinkles, scars, and markings are normal characteristics of genuine full grain leather. The wax pull-up effect means light scratches will naturally buff out with use. These features are not defects but part of the authentic beauty and individuality of every handmade leather accessory.
