How antique brass is made
Hardware is plated with brass and then chemically darkened; the recesses stay dark while the edges lighten. Every piece turns out slightly different, on purpose.
What it gives the product
A vintage look of aged metal that suits natural leather and hand-stitched goods.
When to choose it and when not to
Rustic collars, belts and bags. The layer is thin and the protection basic. For products in permanent damp, choose stainless steel or solid brass instead.
How it ages
The patina deepens with use. The product looks different after a year than it did new, and that's the whole point of this finish. At contact points the layer can wear through over time.
What it pairs with
Brown and cognac leather, unbleached webbing, antique copper and antique silver on companion products.

Look
Vintage / patina
Artificially aged surface with uneven tone and visible patina. Creates the impression of a historical or hand-crafted piece. Each part looks slightly different. That is by design, not a defect.
-
Abrasion resistance
Medium
Suitable for normal everyday use. Traces of wear may gradually appear at exposed points with regular friction or contact with other metal parts.
-
Corrosion protection
Dry conditions
Provides a temporary barrier against moisture. Works well in dry environments, but protection weakens over time with regular contact with water or sweat.

| Damp conditions | Occasional rain | Tolerates occasional contact with rain, wet grass or damp hands. Regular soaking accelerates visible wear, so dry the surface after it becomes wet. |
|---|---|---|
| Aging | Wear at contact points | At points of regular friction (typically the buckle edge, snap contact point or strap) the finish gradually wears through and the base material shows beneath. |
| Process | Galvanic | Metal layer applied by electric current in a bath. An even, thin and well-adhered coating: the most widespread method for surface finishing of metal parts. |
