01 · Everyday
Keep it dry, keep it out of the sun.
Wipe with a soft dry cloth after use. Store in the dust bag or a well-ventilated shelf away from direct sunlight and radiators. Rotate pieces every few weeks so leather can breathe.
The ARAS PINE Guide
Care & Provenance
How to care for a piece that is made to outlast you — and how to send it home when it needs us.
Full-grain leather is a living material. It takes on the shape of your hand, the light of the room it sits in, and the patina of years of use. A little attention, occasionally, keeps it extraordinary.
02 · Conditioning
A drop of neutral cream, twice a year.
Apply a small amount of pH-neutral leather cream in circular motions with a soft cloth. Let rest for 15 minutes, then buff. Never soak. Never use household detergents or alcohol wipes.
03 · If it rains
Let it dry naturally.
Blot excess water with a clean towel and leave at room temperature — away from heaters or hair dryers. Once dry, condition lightly. Water marks fade with a second wipe.

The Repair Service
If a stitch loosens,
it comes home.
Every ARAS PINE piece can be returned to the atelier for repair at any time in its life. We restore stitching, replace worn hardware, re-dye edges, and re-line interiors — at cost, with a fair estimate up front.
To arrange a repair, message the atelier and we'll send a shipping label. Turnaround is typically 2–4 weeks.
