February 29 - everyday carry artisans

Although Genuine Leather and Poly Urethane (PU) Synthetic leather are more wear resistant as compared to other commonly used materials like soft PVC and etc. We cannot ignore the fact that they are still considered soft material which can still be scratched by sharp objects i.e. Keys, knifes or be affected by abrasion i.e. rubbing against a rough surface (flooring).

Even metals like copper and steel are prone to thinning and scratches due to abrasion. Just take a quick look at your metal wrist watch and you'll understand what we mean. =)

Humidity levels set too low will cause leather & faux leather to crack easily since the material moisture is lost.

Humidity & temperature levels set too high will cause leather & faux leather to grow mould easily.  Faux leather tend to deform easily with temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius.

So leaving your faux leather bag in the car under the hot sun may not be a good idea.

Scratches and cuts to these materials are normally irrepairable therefore, we emphasize on adequate care for your Feb 29 to maximize its life span.

Feb 29 have put in place some measures to minimize such problems from happening.

1. Cloth dust bags are provided for selected bags. Cloth bags can be especially useful to protect unused bags against sharp cabinet edges.

2. An especially thick protective layer for all FEB 29 bycast leather bags. The thicker the layer, the more wear resistant the material becomes.

3. Quality Poly Urethane (PU) material that doesn't peel or get scratched easily. Normally bags would come with a small material sample attached to it.  Just rub your tip of your fingernail against that sample and if it peels immediately. It maybe of inferior quality. 

PLEASE only do that on the material sample and not on the ACTUAL display product. 

We like to take care of our customers and we hope our customers can do the same to our display items as well. =)
