Supple to the touch, it has a slightly velvety appearance and naturally develops fine lighter marbling called \"repousse,\" characteristic of high-quality oiled leathers. This leather is made by the Haas tannery in Alsace using hides from its overstock, as part of an initiative to add value to already produced materials. It is a dip-dyed, mineral-tanned leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe closure system consists of an organic cotton cord made in France. Robust and comfortable to use, it can be easily removed to be washed or replaced if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all natural materials, leather evolves over time. Friction, light, and daily use gradually contribute to the development of a unique patina that tells the story of each bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo learn more about the different leathers used in the workshop, tanning methods, or the natural evolution of the material over time, you can also visit the page dedicated to \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/instruments-du-monde.live\/pages\/les-cuirs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eour leathers\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePre-order process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-orders for the Terre Humaine capsule collection are open from June 13 to July 30.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBags pre-ordered during this period will be handmade in the workshop starting after pre-orders close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first deliveries are scheduled to begin in September 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach makes it possible to produce the most appropriate quantities while preserving artisanal, handmade production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo learn more about how made-to-order production works at Faméthic, you can visit the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/instruments-du-monde.live\/pages\/fabrication-a-la-commande\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ededicated page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePayment can be made:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ein one installment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ein two interest-free installments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ein three interest-free installments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith payment in three installments, the final payment is due approximately at the time of delivery of the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in my workshop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Mini Camélée is handmade in my workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seams are made using the saddle stitch, a traditional leatherworking technique performed by hand with two needles.

Already nourished throughout their thickness during tanning, they will gradually become glossier and develop a protective patina through friction, handling, and care.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe first 4 to 6 months are essential for the development of this patina.\u003c\/strong\u003e During this period, the new leather is still very absorbent and requires extra care. Over time, its surface will naturally become more resistant and easier to care for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDuring the first 4 to 6 months\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend performing care \u003cstrong\u003eapproximately once a month\u003c\/strong\u003e with the care balm provided with your creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a very small amount of product. Distribute it carefully on a soft cloth to coat it evenly: \u003cstrong\u003ethere should be virtually no visible product left on the cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e. It should only be very lightly moistened with oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen pass the cloth over the leather \u003cstrong\u003egently and evenly, without trying to work a large amount of product in\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the leather is already nourished throughout its thickness, it does not need to be heavily oiled. On the contrary, when it is new, its surface is particularly absorbent: it is therefore important to start with very little product. As the patina develops, the leather will absorb less quickly and care will become easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe balm thus \u003cstrong\u003esupports the natural tanning process\u003c\/strong\u003e. Friction against clothing will gradually polish the leather's surface; handling and contact with hands also help nourish it. Little by little, these different elements combine to form a more harmonious and protective patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA few precautions at the beginning\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring this initial period, pay particular attention to your creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid handling it as much as possible with \u003cstrong\u003ewet, greasy hands or hands that have just been creamed\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as any contact with food or other greasy substances. Until its protective patina is established, the leather is still very absorbent: \u003cstrong\u003estains can penetrate quickly and remain visible for a while, until the leather settles and its patina becomes uniform.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNubuck leather may also show small surface abrasions. They are generally superficial: \u003cstrong\u003erubbing it with your finger is usually enough to soften or make them disappear.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAnd in the rain?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis leather can withstand \u003cstrong\u003ea few drops, light moisture, or very fine rain\u003c\/strong\u003e. Occasional contact with water does not mean that your creation will be stained or damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, during the first few months, we recommend avoiding exposing it deliberately to rain as much as possible. The newer the leather, the more quickly it absorbs whatever comes into contact with its surface. As the patina develops, water will gradually be less likely to penetrate the leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your creation gets slightly wet in the rain, simply let it \u003cstrong\u003edry naturally\u003c\/strong\u003e, without doing anything further and without placing it near a heat source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven once the patina is established, a leather bag is obviously not intended to be soaked: a reasonable amount of rain and prolonged exposure to water are two very different things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAnd in the sun?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all natural leathers, these leathers \u003cstrong\u003ealso react to the sun\u003c\/strong\u003e, and their color will evolve over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the first few months, avoid strong and prolonged exposure to allow the patina to form gradually and harmoniously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the leather has developed a patina, it can naturally accompany you outdoors much more freely. However, it is still preferable not to leave a leather creation permanently in direct sunlight or exposed to intense heat: leather is not meant to \"cook\" in the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eShould the leather be waterproofed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproofing is not essential.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patina that develops gradually itself provides protection and allows the leather to better withstand moisture over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you still wish to waterproof your creation, be sure to choose \u003cstrong\u003ea product without greasy substances\u003c\/strong\u003e. The leather is already nourished throughout its thickness and also receives its care balm: there is no need to apply multiple layers of oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIn case of a stain or dirt\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA piece of \u003cstrong\u003enatural crepe\u003c\/strong\u003e is provided with your creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a substance has settled on or become embedded in the leather, use the crepe gently \u003cstrong\u003elike an eraser\u003c\/strong\u003e to remove what can be removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the leather, especially when it is still new, has already absorbed a stain—particularly a greasy substance—do not try to make it disappear by adding water or a large amount of product. The crepe can help remove the surface residue, but \u003cstrong\u003ea stain absorbed into the leather will not necessarily disappear immediately\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter using the crepe, you can perform light care with the balm, always in a very small amount and evenly. The goal is not to abruptly mask the stain, but to gradually guide the leather toward a more harmonious patina: the edges of the mark will soften, color differences will become less pronounced, and the leather itself will evolve and darken slightly over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere may therefore be, at the beginning of your creation's life, \u003cstrong\u003ea period during which certain stains remain visible and the patina still appears uneven\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do not try to multiply treatments to make them disappear. Simply continue to care for your leather gently and give it time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs it evolves, these stains will blend into its patina, and some will eventually disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOnce the patina is established\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter approximately \u003cstrong\u003e4 to 6 months, depending on how often you use your creation\u003c\/strong\u003e, the patina will begin to fully perform its protective role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather will then be less absorbent and much easier to care for. You will be able to use your creation in a wider variety of circumstances, take it outdoors or into nature more often, and be less concerned about small everyday stains or light rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare can then be spaced out. We recommend nourishing the leather \u003cstrong\u003eapproximately twice a year\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideally at the change of seasons:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ein spring\u003c\/strong\u003e, before the strong sun exposure of summer;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ein autumn\u003c\/strong\u003e, before the return of rain and moisture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, it remains important to continue nourishing your leather. A material that dries out deeply gradually loses its suppleness: regular care helps preserve the leather fibers and contributes to its longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe golden rule: gentleness and regularity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo care for your creation, \u003cstrong\u003ealways work gently and evenly\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is better to use a very small amount of product and renew the care when necessary than to try to quickly change the appearance of the leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leathers from Terre Humaine were chosen precisely for their ability to evolve. Their tanning gradually reveals its qualities with use: the oil present in the leather's thickness, the care balm, friction, handling, light, and simply time all work together to form their patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour creation is therefore not intended to remain as it was the day it left the workshop.\u003c\/strong\u003e Its surface will become glossier, its color may evolve slightly, and certain marks will appear and then soften. It is this evolution that will gradually give the leather its character and make your creation a truly unique piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAnd what about the cord?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cotton cord can be \u003cstrong\u003emachine-washed with its leather ends\u003c\/strong\u003e. Preferably place it in a laundry bag to limit the abrasion of the cotton. As the leather ends may bleed slightly, avoid washing them with light-colored textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen let the cord dry naturally, away from direct sunlight.
