Yes! The leather we use for The Hantler is treated with a waterproof coating which not only enriches the color but also maintains the sustainability of the leather. However it is recommended to protect your leather product with water resistance spray every one in a while to keep the protection high.

Treat your Hantler well and it will last a lifetime. We advise to treat your Hantler with our leather conditioner every once in a while.

When using leather products you will notice that the leather starts showing signs of wear and natural aging after a while which contributes to the character of the product.

‘I wear my hantler outside, it got muddy, can I clean it with soap?’

Yes, you can clean your Hantler product. Just use a lukewarm cloth and some natural soap or leather cleaner. Do not put your camera harness or strap in the washing machine. Also do not rinse it under water or use harsh chemicals like saddle soap, furniture polishes, cleaning solvents or oils.

The Hantler is made from genuine leather, originating from Europe.
It’s processed in organic methods such as vegetable tanning and various forms of completely chromium-free tanning. Our hardware is produced within Europe as well.

No, unfortunately the production of fake leathers does a lot of harm to the envoirment. For this reason we won’t make any vegan harnesses for now. We do have a wriststrap available which doesn’t contain leather. This product is called ‘Wriststrap Teddy’. 

Our leather is finished with a waterproof coating, however it is possible that especially oiled leather, completely soaked leather and leather with bright colors may leave marks on light coloured clothing. A protection spray can help prevent stains on your clothes.

Weather exposure and general usage of the Hantler makes the leather become more beautiful and start to come alive. However, to keep your Hantler in  good condition and reduce dehydration of the leather you can apply our leather conditioner.

Apply a thin layer of the leather cream every once in a while and rub it in gently with a soft cloth. When your Hantler product gets wet, do not let it dry under heat. You will receive a care guide with your order. 

We have have different colors of leather including some limited editions every once in a while. If you are looking for a specific color, please contact us without obligation via the contact form. Additional costs may be charged for special colors when available.

Your camera’s are locked in mulitple ways onto the Hantler. This way we make sure your camera is safe from falling once it is fastened correctly. Please have a look on our product video’s to see how you properly attach your camera’s to the specific products.

Leather camera holsters have a very long life span and do not waste water in the daily wash. They are a very durable alternative to regular fabric or plastic holsters.

We only work with tanneries that use highly regulated modern tanning techniques and organic methods such as vegetable tanning and various forms of completely chromium-free tanning. We guarantee that all our products are made by hand in our own factory in the Netherlands.
