Sweden had a prominent leather industry during the first half of the 20th century, largely concentrated in Malung in Dalarna. Some of that heritage can be found here with us in the form of leather jackets in various styles, often made from goat leather. The high level of craftsmanship and the quality of the leather are distinctive features of garments from this period.
MAINTAIN YOUR VINTAGE LEATHERWEAR WITH:
The Omni’Nettoyant cleans thoroughly and removes all type of dirt thanks to its tensioactif and solvent based formula for suede and nubuck. The formula contains solvents and cleaning agents which lift dirt and stains from the material leaving it clean and renewed. A brush with natural bristles is included to gently cleanse without damaging the surface.
Carefully remove any dirt or dust from the shoe using a crepe brush.
Pour the required amount of Omni’Nettoyant into a container and dilute it with water.
Apply the product using a brush.
Rinse the bristles with water and brush the leather surface again.
Leave to dry for six hours.
Brush suede items with the Crepe Brush, and nubuck items with the Natural Silk Brush, to revitalise the original surface texture and patina.
