Leather Conditioner

Size: 0.25 oz SAMPLE

Valerie from Walnut has formulated our very own recipe of leather care for people who appreciate an all-natural, time-tested, pleasant-smelling, non-toxic creme for their vegetable-tanned leather products.  

~ No Petroleum ~ No Chemicals ~ No Paraffin ~ All-Natural ~Time-Tested Ingredients ~ Small Batch ~

Walnut's Leather Care is based on historic recipes used by New England fishermen for their leather boots - the same recommended by the Library of Congress for leather care. 

Designed for the unique requirements of vegetable-tanned leather and outdoor use, our leather dressing is weather-proofing, conditioning but not softening, and has antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-mildew properties. 

It can also be used on wood - use it on the cedar sides of the Pocket Pannier and Barrel Bag as well as the leather.

Made in small batches by Valerie and tested by Geoff in the shop, we think the new leather care products are awesome - and so do other leathercrafters!

Renewed breath of life

Aloha,
We are a family of hunters and huntresses.
We understand the process of giving and taking as a unbreakable natural process of exsistsnce.
We use natural materials in our implements such as leather for our knife sheaths, belts, boots etc. they are beautiful, practical, organic and have deep meaning for us.We believe that a life given for a certain purpose must be honored and cared for as best as possible as long as it is serving us and our well-being. We appreciate craftsmen and women who use natural and organic ingredients towards there craft. Your leather care dressing does as it states on the tin it comes in. It conditions our newer leather, restores our old heirloom leather pieces and waterproofs them which is a must as we travel thru the rainforests of our region. Nothing synthetic in it which I appreciate greatly. Leather is very special to us and only the best will touch them. New and old pieces are cherished and your dressing provides them with the care and aloha that they deserve!
The true root meaning of aloha is “ breath of life”

Fantastic Results on Italian Firenze Vegetable Tanned Leather

I was looking for a leather conditioner for my Italian Firenze vegetable tanned leather bags. I found many choices out there in the marketplace. Many of them didn't seem appropriate for vegetable tanned leathers in general, primarily due to their ingredients. After a bit of research about vegetable tanned leathers, II stumbled upon Walnut Studio. They provides an amazing product that works very well. I like that their leather conditioner contains no petroleum, chemicals, paraffin, just all-natural time-tested ingredients, just like they say. It left my prized Italian leather soft, supple and with a low luxurious shine. I'm quite pleased with the results. Thanks, Walnut Studio for ending my search for the perfect leather conditioner.

Read the fine print

I ordered a tin of the Leather Care and received a tin the size of a quarter coin. Unfortunately I did not realize that for $4.45 you only get a sample as I was expecting a size like a tin of shoe polish. My fault for not looking at the site more closely.

This leather conditioner is awesome. My very vintage full grain vegetable-tanned leather luggage has sat on many a tarmac in the rain and has suffered lots of abuse without any TLC. It's tough as nails and I don't mind the stains, but the leather itself was starting to look sad and stiff. Now it looks well loved again. Thank you!

I applied it to the leather with my bare fingers and let it soak into my nails. You know, this stuff has some great properties which seem beneficial for dry cuticles and overworked hands too!

I have your leather care dressing and absolutely love it. My question is do you think it will work well with Kangaroo leather cowboy boots?

Walnut

Our leather conditioner uses very simple, old-fashioned ingredients, so I don't expect any problems with any species of leather tanned with a traditional veg-tan process (not suede). To be sure, I suggest trying it on a small, inobtrusive sample area before appyling to the whole boot. Great question, thank you!
