Playing backgammon on a Suede and Stone travel set at the beach

MATERIALS & CARE


Simple guidance for keeping your suede backgammon set looking considered, travelled, and ready for years of play.

About the suede

Each Suede & Stone set is handcrafted from premium suede leather: soft to the touch, naturally textured, and designed to develop character with use.

Storage

Store the board rolled and clipped in its straps, away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture. Let the set dry fully before rolling it away if it has been exposed to damp air or a light spill.

Cleaning

Brush gently along the grain with a soft suede brush to lift dust and refresh the surface. Blot small spills with a clean, dry cloth. Never rub aggressively or use household cleaners.

What to avoid

Avoid soaking, scrubbing, heat drying, machine washing, and chemical cleaners. These can mark the suede, affect colour, or change the feel of the playing surface.

Travel use

The roll-up format is made for travel, cabins, hotels, beaches, and weekends away. Treat it like a favourite suede accessory: use it often, but keep it away from heavy rain, oil, and rough surfaces.

Natural variation

Suede is a natural material. Slight variation in colour, grain, and texture is part of each board's character, no two sets are identical, and that is the point.

Longevity

Cared for well, a Suede & Stone set deepens with use. Suede develops a soft patina over time; small marks become part of the story of where the board has travelled and the games it has hosted.
