What material is Arlette made of?
The handbag is made of triple-tanned cowhide leather. The triple-tanning process uses vegetable-based tannins. The result is a strong natural leather with a characteristic pattern that gradually acquires a patina and a distinctive appearance with use, exposure to light and the surrounding environment.

Are minor scratches on the skin okay?
Yes. Fine scratches, small scratches, wrinkles or differences in shade may be a natural part of this type of leather. Natural cowhide leather does not have a perfectly uniform surface and it is its slight differences that make each piece original. Also, during use, other fine marks may appear on the surface, which gradually create the natural patina of the handbag.

Will the appearance of the skin change over time?
Yes. This is one of the typical properties of tri-compound leather. Through the effects of light, use and contact with hands, its shade can gradually gain greater depth and the surface can develop a natural patina. Over time, the bag acquires its own character.
