Production
Wet-Blue is tanned leather, which is called raw. This is due to some features of production: the leather is tanned, but not dried to the end, but only slightly squeezed. This allows you to achieve a unique effect of light dampness (familiar to many feeling the coldness of the palm when you spend it on the leather).
At the same time, wet blue can’t be called an organically pure product: while creating this skin, some chemical materials are used that allow it to retain its color qualities longer and provide durability. All materials that are processed wet-blue in the period from the soot-ash to tanning processes and at the stage of dyeing and fattening (including chromium), have been certified. So now you can safely buy wet-blue and not worry about your own health, especially since tanned leather is now produced exclusively with the latest technology.
A little background


Storage and care of wet-blue leather and wet-blue leather products


Not the single fabric can tolerate either frost or sunlight. However, the leather - including tanned - is even more fastidious than ordinary, lightweight fabrics. Therefore, storage of wet-blue and leather products from it requires certain rules, about which very few people know - and yet, these recommendations help keep the color and texture of the material longer. Consider them:
- leather products from wet-blue should be stored in a dark cool cabinet, and the surface is better treated with the special leather care agent, especially when it comes to long-term storage;
- wet-blue categorically can not be stored in plastic bags (this, by the way, is one of the main mistakes of novice leather production);
- if we are talking about storing finished leather goods — for example, bags or shoes — they will not lose shape during storage if they are filled with newspapers.
There is absolutely nothing complicated in observing these rules - you just need to remember about them, and then buying wet blue leather and its further use will be an excellent investment.
