In house, we use the term "vintage leather " for distressed leather products we make. The terminology is used to refer the leather products made in the early 80's which protected its characteristics until our days. The quality of the leather we use has the same characteristics with these historical pieces made in those days that you 've seen and admired.
In other terms, we continue the heritage comes from master craftsmanship of old and bringing life the new modern day instruments with the top quality of leather available. As years pass by your piece of this heritage will look more beautiful.
Special care needs to be taken to preserve the condition of vintage leather getting soaked or soiled. We suggest using a lint-free cloth with leather balms.
