Quality control
Alder products are made using ethically sourced cowhide.
To ensure a superb look, hand feel and softness, no alteration to the surface of the hide is made. There is no grain surface treatment. The skin has a natural full grain drum dyed aniline finish, where the grain has little protection.
While great care is taken to use only the best cuts of leather for our products, each skin is unique and there may be variation of effect within the side.
Minor imperfections may, at times, be visible on the skin, but all add to the beauty and uniqueness of the product.
All items are stringently quality checked before leaving the workshop and are thoroughly checked again before leaving Alder.

Product care
The shell of Alder products is cowhide. To ensure a superb look, hand feel and softness, no alteration to the surface of the hide is made. There is no grain surface treatment. The skin has a natural full grain drum dyed aniline finish, where the grain has little protection.
We would only recommend using a specialist dry cleaner to clean the leather.
When the product is not in use, we recommend storing it in it's dust bag inside the storage box that it arrives in.
The lining of the Alder laptop bags and sleeves is 100% polyester. The lining can be wiped with a damp cloth or sent to a specialist dry cleaners.
Social responsibility
Alder products are made using ethically sourced leather. The skins are the by-product of the meat industry.
Leather wastage is kept to an absolute minimum by using the off cuts to make the smaller Alder offerings like the keyrings and beautiful card wallets.
All hardware is made in the UK and fabrics and linings sourced from the UK.
