| As
you can see below, we have a lot of different textures,
giving the impression that we have different leathers.
Well, that is not so. Leather is always the same, Full
Grain with different dye techniques, which bring about
the textures and colour range appreciated in our models.
In terms of beauty and durability, there is no subsitute
for Full Grain leather. |

Leather
is a unique, natural product and unlike most things its appearance
improves with age. It’s also one of the most durable
and long lasting investments money can buy. Vaja Leathers:
Cowhide is the type of leather we use. Only the top ten percent
of all the Argentine leather hides are selected for its quality,
strength, character and grain to manufacture our products.
All leathers used in our cases confection are Full Grain type. This means
thar have not been altered in any way, allowing the natural markings and
character of the leather to show through. Full grains are, therefore, much
cleaner hides to begin with minimal scars, bugs bites, etc. which also make
them more expensive than altered grain leathers.
Why to choose a Vaja leather case ?
Leather
is incredibly strong! ...When maintained, leather has an incredible
life expectancy!
Leather
is naturally burn resistant! It is the only upholstery material
that does not require additional flame-retardants to meet airline
specifications.
Leather
is non-allergenic. All of the dust particles can be fully removed
making it ideal for dust sensitive persons.
There is no other material to match the fell and aroma of good leather.
Flexibility:
Leather stretches to conform to individual contours, yet retains
sufficient shape to provide support.
Durability:
Leather "breathes" allowing air in and moisture out.
A natural insulator, leather protects against extremes in temperatures
and humidity.
Beauty:
By its very nature, leather comes in a wide range of pleasing
textures and surface patterns. It also takes well to a variety
of finishing processes, designs, and color applications. A
rich "feel" and pleasing scent heighten the appeal
of leather.
Leather
is like a good wine… it gets better with use. After a
while your leathers will get that 'lived in' look, this is
when leather looks its best. In time it becomes soft and flexible
and with the right care it will last for year. |

Regular
Leather Maintenance & Cleaning
Once a week polish with a warm dry and clean cloth or soft and mild brush.
With this minimal care, your leather case will provide years of pleasure
and long-lasting use. However, the leather may need some care from time
to time. We recommend using a neutral cream (eg. Meltonian) sparingly applied
with a soft clean cloth and then brushing the polish immediately after
applied.
Care
Tips
Bellow we will provide some suggestions (though they should not be considered
as solutions) about how to proceed in some common situations that may
occur.
Note: If these procedures do not work for you, consult a professional
leather care expert. Vaja will not assume any responsibility for damage
incurred by owners based on information provided here.
Water
If they are only drops, press firmly with absorbent paper on the surface
and then let them dry in the shade. Please do not apply any kind of heat.
When the surface is completely dry, rub the surface with a clean and
dry cloth to restore the shine.
If your case becomes wet, as fast as you can, take an absorbent paper
and soak up - don’t rub - just blot. Allow it to dry slowly and
naturally at room temperature, avoiding direct heat (hot air vents, radiators,
furnaces, air dryers) or sunlight. When leather is dry, apply a little
uncolored leather polish (Eg. Meltonian) on it to restore flexibility.
This can help, but unfortunately your case never will look as before.
Pen
Do not wet the stain or apply solvent, alcohol, or water. With a clean,
white and soft pencil eraser, press softly erasing the pen stain.
Please follow the procedure again if necessary. Then rub with a cloth
or an extremely soft brush to remove the remaining rubber. If necessary,
apply only uncolored leather polish (Eg. Meltonian) over the area. Let
it dry, and rub with a cloth to restore shine.
In leathers such as Vitelino, Caterina, Alligator, Ostrich, Buffalo,
Floater and Apache this procedure helps to diminish the stain and according
to the leather tone itself, it can even disappear completely. Do not
try to use this procedure to remove ink stains in aniline leathers, due
to the fact that these leathers have no protective treatments applied
to them, the stain is likely to remain. Do not try to remove it with
our suggestions or your own method. Leave the stain, within a few months
Aniline leathers will darken slightly and begin to develop a rich patina.
Oil
For butter, oil or grease, wipe excess butter, oil or grease off the
leather with absorbent paper, and then leave it alone as the spot should
dissipate into the leather in time. Do not apply water to try to wash
a butter, oil or grease spot.
Scratch-marks
Scratch-marks simply do not go away, and tend to get bigger with use.
However, if it does happen, you could try using some uncolored leather
polish (Eg. Meltonian) to cover the scratch. If it's small, this might
repair it, or at least hide it; but otherwise, it's there for good.
Proper
Care
Don´t put adhesive stickers, glue will permanently mark the case
surface.
Don't over-stuff credit cards slots or money pockets. Doing so will stretch
the leather.
Leather breathes, that's what keeps it soft and supple. Do not store the
case in plastic bags. Cover your leather with breathable cloth, like cotton
sheets when storing. |
