Why choose genuine leather?
- It lasts. Well-made genuine leather outlives most synthetic bags, which tend to peel and crack.
- It ages well. Leather softens and develops a rich patina with use, so it looks better in year three than on day one.
- It looks professional. A leather briefcase or handbag instantly lifts an office, meeting or event look.
- It makes a lasting gift. Leather is a classic choice for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, graduations and corporate appreciation.

How to tell genuine leather from fake leather
- Smell: real leather has a rich, natural smell; synthetic “PU leather” smells of plastic or chemicals.
- Grain: genuine leather has small, irregular pores and natural variations. A perfectly repeating pattern usually means it’s printed.
- Edges: look at a cut edge – real leather shows rough, fibrous layers; fake leather shows a smooth plastic layer over fabric.
- Touch and warmth: leather feels supple and warms in your hand; synthetics stay cool and stiff.
- Wrinkle test: press the surface – real leather wrinkles and shifts colour slightly, then recovers.
How to care for leather in Kenya’s climate
- Keep it dust-free: wipe with a soft, dry cloth regularly – especially in dusty seasons.
- Condition it: apply a leather conditioner every few months to stop drying and cracking.
- Avoid direct sun and heat: don’t leave leather on a car dashboard or in strong sunlight.
- Handle rain properly: if it gets wet, blot with a cloth and air-dry away from heaters – never use a hairdryer.
- Store it breathing: keep it in a cotton dust bag (not plastic), stuffed with paper to hold its shape, in a cool dry place.
