Frequently Asked Questions
Our Leather and Products
What type of leather do you use?
We use full-grain leather with its original grain surface intact. We choose the leather for its condition and suitability for each bag, with lasting use in mind. Natural grain, markings and variations give each piece its own authentic character.
Will the leather look exactly like the photographs?
The overall colour and character will be consistent with the photographs, with slight natural variations in grain, markings and colour depth from one hide to another. Lighting and screen settings may also affect how the colour appears. These subtle differences are part of the leather’s natural character.
Are markings, wrinkles or colour variations defects?
No. Variations in grain, small markings, wrinkles and differences in tone are natural characteristics of full-grain leather.
Will the leather scratch easily?
Our leather may show light surface marks through everyday use. Some marks may become less noticeable with handling or gentle rubbing with a soft, clean, dry cloth. With time and use, these marks contribute to each piece’s individual character and patina.
How will the leather change with use?
With time and use, our leather develops a patina. Its colour may deepen, it may soften, and everyday marks become part of its character. Each piece ages differently depending on how it is used and cared for, becoming more personal over time.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is not waterproof. If your bag gets damp, gently wipe away the moisture with a soft, dry cloth. Let it dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
How should I care for my leather bag?
If dust or light dirt appears, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place away from prolonged sunlight and direct heat. Leather conditioner may be applied when the leather feels dry to help keep it supple. Avoid household cleaners, alcohol and harsh chemicals.
Will my laptop fit?
Each product page states the measurements. As laptops with the same screen size can have different dimensions, please compare the length, width and thickness of your laptop, including its case, with the measurements shown.
If you are uncertain, contact us with the exact measurements and we will be glad to help you check before ordering.
How much can your bags comfortably carry?
The compartments and pockets are shown on each product page. Comparing the measurements with the items you usually carry will give you a clearer idea of the bag’s capacity.
Are your bags heavy?
We use thick full-grain leather and sturdy hardware, giving our bags a solid, substantial feel. As a result, they may be slightly heavier. They remain practical for regular use, and the approximate empty weight is stated on each product page to give you a clear idea of what to expect.
Where are your pieces made?
We believe in working with people who share our values, care about doing their work well and want to keep improving. Bringing each leather piece to life takes a shared commitment to making something dependable and worth carrying.
Our pieces are made with our experienced leatherworking partner in northern India. Our partner has more than 70 years of experience in leather production, and its tannery holds Leather Working Group Gold certification.
Each LederMann piece begins with an idea for its look, feel and function. We develop the designs and specifications, and we are involved throughout the design and refinement process.
