It is neither sanded down nor covered with a film: the grain you see is the real one. It is the most hard-wearing part of the leather, and the only one that develops a patina over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the leather develop a patina?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, that is the point. Full-grain leather darkens slightly and gains a sheen where it is handled — the handles, the corners, the flap. It doesn't wear out: it takes on marks. In time, each bag ends up looking like no one but the person who carries it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you care for a full-grain leather bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft, dry cloth day to day. Twice a year, feed the leather with a suitable milk or cream, applied in a thin layer. Keep the bag away from water and from prolonged direct sun, which dry out and fade the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it differ from the Maison's translucent bags?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe line is the same — the material changes. The translucent models, like the Jelly Firkin or the Croco Glacé, play on transparency and colour. Le Firkin returns that same silhouette to its original material, opaque and matt. Same padlock clasp, same fall of the handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you clip the charms onto it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every charm of the Maison — Cherry, Nazar, Chili, Sandal and the cords — clips onto the handles and the clasp of Le Firkin just as it does on the translucent models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you ship to Switzerland and which countries?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
