Care Guide

Your Book Mark B. piece is made to be used, carried, and enjoyed.

Natural leather changes with time. Scratches, color variations, softening, and patina are all part of its character.

With a little care, your leather journal or accessory can accompany you for years.

  • 01 — Keep It Dry

    Avoid prolonged exposure to water, rain, and high humidity.

    If your leather gets wet:

    1. Gently wipe away excess moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
    2. Let it air dry naturally at room temperature.
    3. Keep it away from hair dryers, heaters, and direct heat.

    Never use artificial heat to speed up the drying process.

  • 02 — Avoid Direct Sunlight

    Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can accelerate oxidation and cause natural leather to darken or change color.

    When not in use, store your leather piece in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  • 03 — Keep Your Hands Clean

    Natural leather absorbs oils from your hands.

    Clean, dry hands can help prevent unwanted marks and allow the leather to develop a more even patina over time.

  • 04 — Avoid Harsh Chemicals

    Keep your leather away from:

    • Alcohol
    • Perfume
    • Hand sanitizer
    • Detergents
    • Solvents
    • Strong cleaning products

    These substances may affect the leather's natural finish or cause discoloration.

Care by Leather Type

The best care is often simply using it.

--Italian Alaska Leather

Alaska leather features a natural waxed finish that gives it a soft and expressive appearance.

The surface may develop subtle marks through handling and everyday use.

Avoid excessive polishing or heavy conditioning, as this may alter its characteristic waxed finish.

Let the natural texture speak for itself.

--Shell Cordovan Leather

Shell Cordovan has a naturally smooth and dense surface.

Keep it clean and dry, and gently wipe away dust or fingerprints with a soft cloth.
