Wool & Oak Leather Care

Thank you for choosing a Wool & Oak leather piece. Crafted with precision and passion, our leather goods are designed to stand the test of time. To ensure your piece ages beautifully, we recommend following a few simple guidelines to avoid common mishaps.

Leather is a natural material that only gets better with time.

At Wool & Oak, we use only premium, full-grain leather—the top layer remains untouched, ensuring durability while embracing the unique character of each hide. Subtle marks like wrinkles, veins, and pores aren’t imperfections, but rather a testament to the leather's authenticity and long-lasting quality.

As a living material, leather evolves over time, becoming softer and developing a rich patina that reflects your journey. Whether through daily use or the touch of your hand, your Wool & Oak piece will take on a unique character, making it truly yours.

The hardware of your piece is the finishing touch. Each clasp, buckle, and zipper is carefully chosen to complement the leather, crafted with precision and designed to last. We use high-quality materials, ensuring that every component ages as gracefully as the leather itself.

Caring for Your Leather

Leather, while resilient, is sensitive to the elements. Avoid exposure to water, extreme heat, direct sunlight, and high humidity, as these can affect the leather's appearance and color. If your piece comes into contact with water, gently wipe it with a soft cloth to prevent stains or bubbles from forming.

Preventing Common Mishaps

Leather prefers a life of balance. Certain substances, such as ink, lipstick, or fragrances, can leave lasting marks. Be cautious with light-colored leathers, as repeated contact with darker textiles may cause discoloration. Additionally, avoid overloading your bag with bulky or unsuitable items to preserve its shape.

Give It Time to Rest

To keep your Wool & Oak piece looking its best, allow it time to rest. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Use the original dust bag or protective cover, and fill the bag with tissue paper or bubble wrap to help it retain its shape with all zips and straps closed. We recommend avoiding moisture-absorbing sachets.
