Product Care

Hektor + Helena's leather is sourced from the full-grain part of the cowhide. It is not only incredibly durable but ages timelessly. It goes through a natural eco-friendly vegetable tanning method and the result is a striking blend of rich earth toned colours, providing a glowing finish. 

Handcrafted in Florence, Italy by master craftsmen who have been perfecting their skills for generations, Hektor + Helena bags will develop a unique and grand patina as they age. Although your leather will have an exquisite look that is 100% authentic to you, there are ways to care for your leather that can help maintain it's beauty:  

• Protect from direct sunlight, moisture and heat
• Avoid water, however if it does get wet, then dry off immediately 
• Apply a leather protector annually
• Condition your leather regularly (for recommended products, please reach out to us!)
• To keep shape, fill with tissue paper
• When not using your bag, house it in its dust bag

When cleaning your leather bag: 

• Use a clean (micro-fibre, preferable) cloth 
• Dip it into a simple soap and water solution 
• Gently clean the surface of your bag 
• Please do NOT use chemical products to clean your bag!
