Q: What is Swift leather like?

It gives the Plume an elegant, lightweight look, but because it is a smoother leather, it can show surface marks and light scratches more readily than heavily grained leathers.

A: To care for Swift leather, handle it gently and avoid rain, rough surfaces, oils and prolonged direct sunlight. Wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth after use and store it in a cool, dry place, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, professional leather care is the safest option.
