Frequently Asked Questions
The product
What materials are used for the Randoseru?
We use Tough Guard, Clarino (synthetic leather), and genuine leather. Synthetic leathers like Tough Guard are lighter than genuine leather, and they are easy to care for as they resist rain and scratches. Genuine leather is more durable than synthetic leather and has a unique appearance.
What are Tough Guard and Clarino?
Tough Guard: an artificial leather developed by Teijin Cordley Ltd.
Clarino: an artificial leather developed by Kuraray Co., Ltd.
These materials have a structure very similar to natural leather, offering great strength and durability. They also have the particularity of being scratch-resistant on the surface.
How to care for your Randoseru?
If dirt becomes visible, please wipe it with a cloth that has been firmly wrung out after being soaked in a diluted neutral detergent. Then, please dry it in the shade, away from direct sunlight. (When using a neutral detergent, we ask that you check on an inconspicuous area yourself to ensure it does not discolor the product.) Even if it gets wet from rain, we recommend wiping it with a dry cloth.
