The bold richness of black leather is beautifully paired with the luminous finish of polished brass, enhanced by the dynamic detail of contrast stitching. The smooth-grain, vegetable-tanned leather provides durability and subtle texture, while the polished brass adds a bright, reflective element to the pairing. This combination is ideal for cabinetry, entrance handles, and bespoke accents, delivering a bold and sophisticated aesthetic.

Care Guidelines:
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can cause the leather to fade and the brass to darken faster.
- General Cleaning: Wipe the brass with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may strip the patina.
- Leather Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a damp microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Leather Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Stitching Care: Ensure stitching is cleaned gently with a damp cloth to avoid wear.
- Humidity Control: Maintain stable humidity levels to avoid cracking of the leather and prevent corrosion of the brass.
