Two-tone metallic leather pouch purple-blue

Our naturally tanned leather is refined in a multi-stage process with an ultra-thin, iridescent foil. This creates the distinctive two-tone effect, where subtle colour nuances shift depending on the light and viewing angle. Depending on the finish, the surface may appear more even, or the natural structure and texture of the leather may become more pronounced.

We use only high-quality foils. However, foiled and iridescent leather surfaces are more delicate than untreated leather – the metallic or foil coating may change or wear off through friction, moisture, or frequent use. Over time, the surface may become slightly matte, the leather base may become more visible, and the shimmering colour gradient may soften – a natural process that gives each bag its individual patina.

To best protect your INA KENT bag, we recommend the following:

• Before first use, apply a small amount of a specialised leather care product suitable for delicate foil finishes. Repeat occasionally to maintain protection.
• Clean gently with a soft microfiber cloth – avoid vigorous rubbing or abrasion, as this may damage the foil.
• Avoid contact with water, excessive sunlight, or heat – such exposure may cause the foil coating to fade or loosen.
• Keep away from rough or abrasive surfaces, as even minor scratches can be visible on foiled leather.
• Do not use conventional care products not specifically formulated for foiled or metallic leather – oils, waxes, or solvent-based sprays may damage the surface.
• Avoid contact with materials that may transfer colour pigments – this can be particularly noticeable on iridescent finishes.
• For cleaning or in case of visible signs of wear, we recommend consulting a professional leather care specialist.
