BROOKLYN MUSEUM's French calfs are made using two types of leather depending on the characteristics of the item.
The leather we use for our leather accessories is Noblessa Calf from the prestigious German tannery LUDWIG PERLINGER GmbH.
This leather is finished in Germany, the birthplace of chrome tanning, by tanners with a history of over 150 years and numerous achievements, and its moderate firmness and beautiful shading make the item stand out in its elegance when you hold it in your hand.
What is noteworthy is the richness of the coloring. And the point is that you can enjoy the color for many years. The chewy calf does not lose its shape easily and becomes softer with use.
Furthermore, the embossed finish makes it highly resistant to scratches and dirt, making it suitable for any lifestyle, making it highly praised by global luxury brands.
We continue to refine our top-class technology not only for the beauty of color, but also for quality maintenance and environmental friendliness.

The bag I use is Weinheimer's Word Processor Lux. WEINHEIMER LEDER is a tannery founded by craftsmen to inherit traditional techniques from Karl Freudenberg, one of the world's leading German tanneries that has come to an end in recent years.
A soft texture with just the right amount of stiffness unique to calfskin, the fine elasticity of the fibers, and the careful finish of the tanner. In search of a body that touches the skin and fits supplely, we came up with this leather.
The finish is resistant to scratches, dirt, and water. Every time you pick it up, its stylish appearance will expand your coordination.
In Germany, which is an environmentally advanced country, we are a tanner that makes traceability clear and treats leather to an even higher standard.
Aging of French calf slowly increases its luster without changing its color, giving it a dignified look.
Therefore, this leather is ideal for those who want to enjoy bright colors for a longer period of time.
We also make custom orders for original colors from each tanner in search of a “BROOKLYN MUSEUM-like color” while taking advantage of the high quality of the leather.
By selecting leather accessories from a wide variety of colors to express yourself, you will be able to greatly expand the range of your coordination.
"Leather with a variety of expressions that matches every occasion, from business to casual"
That is the characteristic of French calf.

HOW TO CARE
As a general rule, do not apply cream to French calf accessories and wipe them dry with leather gloves.
The oil from your hands that naturally comes out when you use it on a daily basis is enough to compensate.
If you are concerned about the leather's dryness or hardness, take a small amount of leather preservation cream on a cloth, spread it well on a soft cloth, and apply it in a circular motion.
(*Please be careful not to apply too much oil as it may damage the leather)

For French calf bags, we recommend Coronil 1909 Supreme Protect Spray.
Remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth or brush.
Shake the container well, hold the nozzle horizontally, and spray twice from a distance of about 20 to 30 cm until the surface is lightly moistened (4 seconds per 30 cm square).
The frequency of maintenance depends on the condition, but please do it once every 2 to 3 months.
