How Bluno leather develops a patina

About patina

With every use,
a character all your own.

The more you use Bluno leather goods, the more lustrous they become, with colors gradually growing deeper.

* The way patina develops depends on use and environment.

With time

Little scratches, traces of daily life.

Little scratches and scuffs gradually settle into the leather through everyday use, becoming part of a character unique to its owner.

We hope you will enjoy not only the pristine beauty of new leather, but also the character that develops through years of use.

02 / Everyday care

Everyday care

Pick it up and keep using it every day.
That is the most natural care for this leather.

Bluno uses Italian vacchetta leather, a vegetable-tanned leather rich in oils.

The leather starts with a slightly matte finish. With daily use, the oils from your hands and gentle friction gradually increase its luster and deepen its color.

01

For everyday care, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

A gentle wipe with a soft, dry cloth is enough for everyday care.

If dust or dirt on the surface needs attention, brush it lightly with a soft brush, such as one used for shoes.

02

Go easy on additional oil.

For the first few years after purchase, there is no need to apply leather cream or oil frequently.

In fact, adding too much oil can cause stains or uneven coloring.
