Care & Maintenance of your Leathergoods

Getting The Most Out of Your Maugro Leathergoods 

Our handmade fish skin leather wallet is designed to mature beautifully with use, developing a rich patina that reflects your lifestyle. However, it's essential to understand how various factors can influence its appearance over time:

Natural Ageing -

With regular use, the leather will undergo a natural ageing process, resulting in colour changes and a deepening of its character. This is a desirable aspect of genuine leather, enhancing its beauty while still showcasing the unique lateral line feature inherent to fish skin.

Cleaning and Maintenance -

  • To maintain the integrity of the leather, clean it with a soft, dry cloth to remove any excess dirt. Then using water lightly dampen a cloth and gently wipe the affected area, allow it to air dry.
  • For stubborn stains use a laundry or dish detergent that targets grease. Be sure to avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners or bleach.
    • Dissolve and dilute the detergent in water before applying.
    • Gently work the diluted detergent into the stained area with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid excessive rubbing as this may cause damage to the finish the leather.
    • Wipe down with a clean, damp cloth or sponge to remove any detergent residue, repeat the wipe-down process a couple of times for good measure.
    • Leave in a shady spot, avoiding direct UV from the sun to air dry.

     

  • We strongly recommend against putting our products in the washing machine or submerging/soaking them in water but we also understand accidents happen. If your Maugro product accidentally gets wet, gently wipe away excess moisture with a clean, dry cloth and leave it to dry slowly (out of direct sunlight). Do not rub with a cloth or dry with a dryer. After your leather has dried, rejuvenate it with a good quality leather conditioner as per their application instructions.

Environmental Factors - 

Day-to-day factors such as exposure to dirty hands, work clothes, and environmental elements can contribute to the ageing process, leading to a more worn appearance. These elements may enhance the character of the wallet but can also affect its cleanliness and colour.

Colour Changes -

  • As the wallet ages, expect to see subtle changes in colour and texture. This is a normal part of the leather’s maturation and should not be considered a defect.
  • The prominent lateral line feature will remain visible, adding to the wallet’s unique aesthetic.

Wear and Tear - 

Everyday use will naturally result in wear and tear. While this adds to the wallet's charm, avoid overstuffing or subjecting it to excessive physical stress to prolong its lifespan.

By embracing the natural ageing process and caring for your wallet, you’ll ensure it remains a cherished accessory that tells your story for a lifetime. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Have Questions About Fish Leather?

Below you'll find some answers to the most common questions you may have regarding Maugro's fish leather. If you still cant find the answer your looking for just contact us and we'd be happy to help.

What is fish leather?
Fish leather is a natural, sustainable, and biodegradable material produced by tanning the skins of harvested fish that would otherwise be considered a waste product of the food and fishing industries making it an eco-friendly alternative to conventional leathers.

Is fish leather strong and durable?
Yes, fish leather is surprisingly strong, it can be up to 9 times or more stronger than traditional cow leather of the same thickness. This exceptional tensile strength is due to the unique, dense, cross-fibre structure of fish skin, which acts like a basket weave and resists tearing.

Does fish leather smell like fish?
No, fish leather does not have a fishy smell. The fishy odour comes from the fats and oils, which are removed during the initial degreasing and tanning process. The final product has a characteristic leather scent similar to cowhide.

Are your fish skins sustainably sourced?
Our fish skins are all sourced from fish that are caught within a 40 year old Western Australian sustainable managed fishery initiative and are the reason behind the evolution of our leathergoods business. Maugro was formed around a desire to utilise a previously discarded by-product of the fishing industry and has allowed us to lower environmental impacts and increase sustainability.

What is the 'lateral line' of the fish?
Wherever possible we try to incorporate and highlight the lateral line of the fish in our products . The  lateral line is a sensory organ that runs down both sides of the fish's body and is integral to their existence, detecting vibrations and pressure changes in the water. This helps them navigate, locate prey, and avoid predators and is a crucial tool, especially in murky water where vision is limited.

Did you Know?
All barramundi are born male and then change to females to reproduce as they age and grow, this process is called 'protandrous hermaphroditism'. They can also eat prey up to 60% of their own length...
