LEATHER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

DEMON&HUNTER LEATHER

Made by passionate and exacting craftsmen with infinite patience, this piece can last a
lifetime if you know how to care for it properly.
A living material, leather changes, softens, and gains a patina with time. Hermes uses only
full‑grain leather, worked in such a way as to ensure that the grain and natural features –
wrinkles, veins, pores – remain visible. Far from being flaws, these nuances reveal the skin’s
‘transparency’, the expression of its excellent quality and ability to age well.

The metal pieces – plates, clasps, padlocks, locks, studs, buckles – known as ‘hardware’ in
the world of leather goods, are for the most part exclusive to Hermes. They are usually made
of brass, polished by hand, and plated with fine gold, palladium or permabrass. Please read
the following tips carefully, as they will help you make your Hermes leather object a loyal
and reliable partner that stands the test of time.

PROTECT IT FROM BAD WEATHER

Leather is sensitive to natural elements: water, oil, heat, light, and environments that are
too humid or too dry. Protect it from prolonged exposure to intense light and heat (direct
sunlight, in a window, on a radiator, etc.), which may alter the colour. If the leather comes
into contact with water, wipe it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth. This will prevent
the formation of stains and blisters.

KEEP IT AWAY FROM BAD INFLUENCES

Some materials can leave permanent marks on leather: ink (markers and pens), oily products
(makeup and lipstick), perfume and alcohol-based products. Repeated contact with raw or dark
textiles can also have undesirable effects on leather that is lighter in colour. Finally, in
order to preserve the shape of your Hermes leather object, do not overload it or place
irregularly shaped items inside.

OFFER IT FREQUENT HOLIDAYS

To preserve its original beauty, your Hermes leather object needs time to rest. When you are
not using it, make sure to provide it with the best possible preservation conditions: a
temperate, dry environment away from light, preferably in its original box or dust cover. To
maintain its silhouette, place tissue paper or bubble wrap inside and make sure all zippers
are zipped and straps are attached. We recommend that you do not use anti-humidity sachets,
as they have a drying effect on leather.
