Guide to Top-Grain Leather Preservation & Maintenance

Guide to Top-Grain Leather Preservation & Maintenance

Étienne tennis racket bag is crafted from our customized top-grain leather, a material perfected over seven months of technical development. To preserve, we recommend a disciplined maintenance regimen. Here is the guide to top-grain leather preservation & maintenance. 

l   Dry Buffing: After each session on the court, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently remove surface particulates. This prevents micro-abrasions from dulling the refined matte finish.

l   Environmental Control: Top-grain leather is a breathable, organic medium. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in vehicles or high-humidity locker rooms to maintain the calibrated Oiliness of the hide.

l   Moisture Exposure: Should your gear encounter rain, immediately pat dry with an absorbent cloth—never rub. Allow it to air-dry naturally in a ventilated space. Avoid external heat sources, such as hair dryers, which can compromise the protein fibers and cause hardening.

l   Surface Scuffs: Premium top-grain leather possesses a natural self-healing quality. For light scuffs, use the warmth of your fingertip to gently massage the area; the natural oils from your skin will often blend the mark into the developing patina.
