HOBO BAG SUEDE GRAPHITE

Genuine Italian leather – split velour is a type of genuine leather— a delicate material made from the lower layer of the hide after removing the smooth outer surface. As a result of this treatment, the surface of the material takes on a soft, velvety texture with a nap. Compared to regular suede, split leather is denser and rougher, but this makes it more suitable for items that need to retain their shape.

Split velour has an unprotected surface, so it requires more careful home maintenance.

• Before the first use, apply a protective spray for suede or nubuck.
• Items made of split velour may shed small particles of nap during the initial period of use — this is a natural characteristic of the material, not a defect. This reaction is due to the soft, napped texture of the surface, which gradually stabilizes over time. After 1-2 weeks of use, this effect almost disappears.
• Dark colors require careful wearing and use, as well as regular maintenance, to avoid staining at points of contact with clothing or other items.
• Split velour is very sensitive to moisture: avoid direct contact with water or dampness. Do not use the item in rainy weather.
• If the bag gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature, without using any additional heat sources.

• When regularly caring for split velour items, avoid abrasive products as they may scratch or damage the surface. Choose special brushes for delicate care of suede or nubuck.
• For home cleaning, we recommend using a universal leather foam and a suede or nubuck brush, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• For regular use, home cleaning is recommended once a month.
• For additional moisture protection, you can use the NÚKOT raincoat (available in the Accessories section), which fits all sizes and models of NÚKOT bags, or a water-repellent product (our recommendation: Saphir Nano Invulner Protector).

take care!
