Material and Care

Material

Here at Hands of Tym, we are passionate about sourcing the highest quality sustainable materials. 

  • We use responsibly-sourced Italian vegetable-tanned leather. Find out more here.
  • Using only the highest quality cuts, the leather will improve with use and age, developing a soft patina over time. 
  • Natural variations are a product feature of this material and contribute to the individual style of the product. 
  • The leather is free from harmful chemicals and biodegradable at the end of its life. 

Care

Please note: There may be natural changes in the colour of the materials and they may stain easily. Please be careful with oils and inks. 

When not in use, store your product in the soft cloth bag in a cool and dry place. 

Repair

When you buy from Hands of Tym, you’re getting so much more than your new purchase. You’re creating a connection with the maker - Georgie Tym. 

If your leather product becomes damaged (after all, life happens), contact us and we can talk about repair options. 

We look forward to seeing you at the Workshop soon.
