Leather and care:
The Marseille H²O collection is made from full-grain calfskin sourced from the production surplus of the Tannerie Roux located in the Drôme near Romans, and now part of the LVMH group.
This pronounced-grain leather is supple and thick. It is dense, with a full and textured feel. Of exceptional quality, it develops an elegant, gradual patina.
Despite its very natural finish and light color, this calfskin leather is easy to care for.
To protect your leather , enhance its patina and preserve the leather's durability, wax it once a month for 4 months using the leather care balm provided by Faméthic. Use a soft cotton cloth, take a small amount of balm, fold your cloth in half and rub the two parts together to spread the balm as evenly as possible on your cloth.
Then apply your oiled cloth to the leather in gentle circular motions. You can focus on the edges of the leather to accelerate their patina.
To clean your leather , you can use a damp microfiber cloth and a little Marseille soap, which you will lather on your cloth before applying it to your leather in gentle circular motions. Let your leather dry, and wax it the next day.
Then, rinse your microfiber, then pass it over the leather to remove all traces of soap and the last dust.
In the case of a persistent stain, use a piece of crepe as an eraser to lift or lighten the stain. Keep in mind that the more you wax your leather with the leather care balm, the less stains will set into the leather.
In the case of a liquid that spills on your leather, absorb the liquid as quickly as possible, then clean it as soon as possible. Finally, wax your leather the next day.

In our workshop, we have chosen to work exclusively with leather called "full-grain" for all our designs. Unlike leather crust taken from the dermis, full-grain leather comes from the epidermis, the strongest part of the skin, reflecting the animal's life.
Thus, certain "flaws" will be visible, such as wrinkles, moles, stretch marks, scars, scratches, punctures, etc. Most of the time, these marks are only surface aesthetic flaws and do not alter the leather's strength in any way. Since leather itself is a waste product of the livestock industry, and for ecological reasons, we deliberately work with hides that have some of these marks. Likewise, to limit waste during cutting, we keep certain natural flaws when they are purely aesthetic.
Color and patina:
The turquoise color is a color that can react to the sun. Indeed, like blue jeans, the blue color can fade. As a precaution, and while waiting for your waxings and the first months of use of the leather to develop a sufficiently protective patina, avoid exposing your leather to the sun for too long.
The patina of this leather will be long and gradual, which is the best way to obtain the most beautiful patina. It will be in your image, in the image of your daily life and your relationship with objects.
