Leather care guide

Keep your leather piece away from prolonged direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity and contact with water. Do not immerse leather in water.

If your piece becomes wet, gently blot the surface with a clean, soft cloth. Allow it to dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators, hairdryers and other sources of heat.

For regular care, remove surface dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid household detergents, regular soaps, alcohol, solvents, abrasive sponges or aggressive cleaning products.

Some vegetable-tanned leathers may tolerate specialist cleaning or conditioning, but do not automatically use a damp cloth, leather cream, oil or conditioner on an 0770 piece. These treatments may damage moulded elements, surface coatings or hand-painted finishes. Ask our atelier which treatment is suitable for the specific creation before applying anything.

The character of Tuscan leather

Many 0770 creations use carefully selected Italian vegetable-tanned leather. Natural tannins and artisanal processes give the material its individual grain, tone and long-term character.

As a piece is worn and handled, some vegetable-tanned leathers may develop a unique patina. Natural variations and gradual colour changes can be part of the material's character, rather than a manufacturing flaw.

How does care influence patina?

Exposure, handling and care all affect how uncoated vegetable-tanned leather changes over time. Not every 0770 finish is intended to develop a visible patina; coated and painted surfaces may respond differently.

Many of our leather designs are structured using heat and shaping techniques. Avoid bending, crushing or folding moulded components, as their intended silhouette may be altered.

Protect painted finishes, decorative details, laser-cut edges and hardware from friction and impact. Do not apply polishing products, waxes or conditioners unless specifically approved for the finish by our atelier.

Store each creation in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged compression or folding, especially on sculptural and moulded pieces.

Ensure any hardware does not rub against delicate leather surfaces and do not leave items damp or enclosed in humid conditions for long periods.

Each 0770 creation is made with its own material and construction. If you are unsure about cleaning, patina, colour changes, damage or how to store a particular piece, contact info@0770.it before using a treatment.
