crackled purple

Metallic leather pouch purple

Our naturally tanned leather is refined in a multi-stage process with an ultra-thin foil. The result is a distinctive, subtly irregular surface with a softly crackled, slightly powdery sheen. Depending on the finish, the texture may appear smoother or more rugged, giving the material its naturally varied, non-uniform appearance.

We use only high-quality foils. However, our “crackled” and “film noir” foiled leathers are more delicate than untreated leather – the foil coating may change or wear off through friction, moisture, or frequent use. Over time, the surface may become more matte, the leather base may become more visible, and the subtle sheen may fade – a natural process that enhances the bag’s individual character.

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 or foiled leathers. Repeat occasionally to maintain protection.
• Clean gently with a soft microfiber cloth – avoid vigorous rubbing or abrasion, as this may damage the foil surface.
• Avoid contact with water, excessive sunlight, or heat – such exposure can alter or fade the finish.
• Keep away from rough or abrasive surfaces: even minor scuffs may be visible on crackled leather.
• Do not use conventional care products not specifically formulated for foiled or delicate 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 lighter finishes.
• For cleaning or visible signs of wear, we recommend consulting a professional leather care specialist.
