Hidden defects, damage and emphasised wear and tear of leather clothing
The product is made from natural hide and is made naturally without surface treatment or semi-aniline treatment. These products are usually made from calf’s hide with non-standard treatment in the leather factory. Changes occur in the hide over the course of use due to the influences of the weather, light, different temperatures and dirt content in the air. The qualitative properties of hide partially change (feel and appearance). This change exhibits itself after cleaning. With most products, the colour differences are emphasised on individual parts of the product (individual parts usually darken unevenly) and the feel changes – the hide is somewhat stiffer in areas directly exposed to the weather – more compact compared to partially covered areas such as under the collar, in the folds of the waist tucks and similar. This is a change which is given by the quality of hide processing in the leather factory.
After cleaning has been performed the qualitative characteristics of the hide are emphasised and also possibly the quality or type of leather processing. The changes which have occurred cannot be influenced by selection of the technological procedure for cleaning, On the contrary, they could be emphasised, which negatively influences the appearance of the product.
We perform cleaning of products from hide with technology designed for processing of delicate natural material. After cleaning has been performed, we perform final treatment according to the type of hide used in order to preserve the appearance, functional and qualitative properties of the item of clothing. This concerns the natural properties of natural material which your job order is made from.
In accordance with Section 2594 Civil Code, the dry cleaners would like to point out to the customer that natural hide has its own natural properties and defects in the quality of the hide used (unsuitable glue, permanency of dying, quality of tanning and dying), which cannot be influenced by cleaning, the dry cleaners shall not be liable for any possible defects incurred to your job order due to natural properties and defects (stipulated below), and unsuitable instructions of the client. We inform you of these facts and ask for statement by you (your signature on the job order) whether you wish your order to be cleaned subject to this condition.
