Why does the leather appear to be damaged / has scratches on it?Updated 5 months ago

It's completely normal for vegetable-tanned leather to develop scratches and signs of wear as it ages. 

If you'd like to minimize the appearance of these blemishes, here are a few tips:

1. **Buffing Scratches:** Use a soft cloth along with a quality leather conditioner or cream. Gently buff the scratched area to help restore its original look.

2. **Preventing Future Damage:** To keep your leather in great condition, store it away from sharp objects. This can help prevent any additional scratches or marks.
