Care informations
A piece designed to last
Crafted with care by skilled and passionate artisans, this piece was made with durability at its core. To ensure it stands the test of time, we recommend a few simple precautions to preserve its beauty. Leather is an organic, sensitive material that develops character over time. We only use full-grain leather, the uppermost layer of the hide, left untouched and unaltered. This choice guarantees both strength and longevity while showcasing the natural grain of the skin: wrinkles, veins, and pores are not flaws but signs of authenticity. They reflect the "transparency" of the leather, a hallmark of its quality and resilience. As a living material, leather evolves. It becomes more supple and develops a soft sheen. With daily use, every touch and movement leaves its mark, gradually creating a patina that gives your Hélène Nepomiatzi piece its unique personality.
Preserving Its Appearance
Leather is sensitive to natural elements. Water, direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity, or dryness may affect its color and texture. If it gets wet, gently blot it with a soft cloth to prevent marks or blistering as it dries.
Avoiding Common Mistakes
Leather doesn’t take kindly to excess. Substances like ink, lipstick, and perfume can cause permanent stains. Likewise, repeated contact with dark or abrasive fabrics may transfer color onto lighter leathers. To maintain the shape of your item, avoid overfilling it or using it for purposes beyond its intended design.
Giving It Time to Rest
To preserve its shape and shine, allow your Hélène Nepomiatzi piece to rest when not in use. Store it in a dry, temperate environment away from direct light, ideally in its original box or protective dust bag.
The parts that are made out of Suede or Velvety leather are particularly sensitive to dust, dirt and oily substances. To make sure your piece ages beautifully we recommend you to avoid over exposure to direct lightning and keep it away from direct sources of heat. If your object does come into contact with water or any of those substances, it should be gently dabbed with a dry, non-fluffy, light coloured absorbent cloth. Light scratches can attenuate if gently massaged with a soft, dry cloth.
These leathers are natural and unique: any incidental tonal variations, marks or veins are natural features and should not be considered as imperfections.
