Dear Faith Thank you so much for your thoughtful words and for appreciating the beauty of the wool! I couldn't agree more that the best way to honor this wonderful material is by creating something that stands the test of time. Your support means the world to me. Warmest greetings from the Netherlands!

Additional policies and FAQs
I use vegetable tanned leather. The surface is porous and not flawless. Small scratches will come & go. If the leather dries out you can put some natural (no color) shoe shine on the leather for conditioning. We use Fiebings natural wax for a subtle satin shine. The leather will darken overtime and become more shiny.
Woolfelt:
The felt I use is produced in Europe & carries the Woolmark label: 100% virgin woolfelt, with a density of 280. Due to this density, the felt is highly waterrepellant, however not fully waterproof. It is durable, dirt- and water repellant. Lanolin, the naturally accorring waxy coating on wool fibers, is responsible for this.
We advise the following methods of maintenance:
Wet spills → directly blot with dry cloth or paper towel. If necessary, rinse with Cold water and blot again until dry. Do not rub.
Grease stains → clean with K2r
When pills (small felt balls) occur, cut them off with sharp scissors. The sharp cut will prevent the felt from forming new pills.
