Will My Leather Journal Need Any Special Care?
Our leather journals are made with beautiful, genuine leathers from Australia and New Zealand. As this is a natural product, you may find some natural scratches, blemishes or stretch marks ingrained into the leather.
These natural variations are what makes every single piece of leather unique. Therefore, the leather (raw cacao and crazy horse) finish is intentionally prone to scuffs and scratches, so your journal achieves a wonderfully aged look over time.
However, wiping your journal with a damp cloth removes minor surface scratches. Using polishes is not recommended.
A dry kneadable eraser or similar can be lightly rolled over the surface of engravings to easily remove any small charcoal deposits or smudges that occasionally occur due to the process of engraving with a laser.
