FAQ
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Caring for your Garstin 1871 products is simple enough. We only use the finest Italian vegetable tanned leather from a small family run tannery in Tuscany. This premium leather will age beautifully over time and develop it own unique patina. The natural oils in the leather mean the scuffs in daily use should be buffed out by simply rubbing your thumb along them. If you want to use a leather conditioner use a natural beeswax balm.
Our English brass hardware will also patina over time which will add to the character of the item, you can of course polish them to keep them shiny with quality brass cleaner. Be careful not to get any on the leather as this could discolour and damage the leather.
Garstin 1871 products come with a presentation case, and the satchel and weekenders have a dust bag for your convenience. We advise you to keep it in the dust bag whenever you are not using the item as it will keep it in splendid condition.
