Maintenance and care
Just as with weapons, your shoes and leather goods may be cared for by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.

This article is produced in a limited edition only, which means that every piece is unique. Sizes and finish may vary slightly per piece.

Packed with 100% recycled material
For the packaging of this article we only use 100% recycled plastic and recycled paper/cardboard from FSC-certified forests. We immediately reuse a large part of the material, without the intervention of a recycling process.
Recycle the material by separating your waste:
1. Cardboard: Separate or reuse your paper.
2. Plastic cushions, clothing bags and plastic tape: separate or reuse your plastic. If possible, pierce the cushions with a volume editor needle.
3. Paper packaging for jewellery and small objects: these have a plastic inner layer. Remove it and then separate the paper and plastic.
