KLEIN KAROO Co-operative in Oudtshoorn, South Africa deals exclusively in ostrich leather. Representing more than 800 ostrich farmer members, it is the biggest supplier of ostrich leather in the world. Consequently, Klein Karoo is the only ostrich leather manufacturer which offers its products in 37 standard colours in its range of more than 300.

To ensure the best possible care, please note the following:

Light, natural and artificial, may cause natural fading in the leather. When not in use, store in the flannel bag or box provided. This will also protect against dust.

Should you wish to clean the leather, wipe with a soft damp cloth, free of detergent. Oil stains should be sprinkled immediatly with talcum powder. Allow to stand, and then brush off excess. Ink and direct heat will permanently mark the leather. Natural, pure, naked and unprotected.

These leathers are coloured with transparent dyestuff. This means that you are able to see the actual surface grain and marking. It is as if you are looking through a coloured lens. These leathers have very little or no protective treatments applied to them. The most common thing to do is to spray a wax finish on the suface that gives short-term water repellence.
