Materials & care

The materials behind every Majeurs piece

Every upholstered piece is handcrafted in leather, velvet or a woven upholstery fabric. Here is what each one is, how it feels and ages, and how to keep it looking its best for years.

Material 01

Leather

Our leather is top-quality, genuine animal hide, selected for its strength, suppleness and natural grain, then cut and finished by hand in our workshop. It is the most durable upholstery we offer and it gets better with age, softening and developing a rich patina with use.

Every hide is unique. Small scars, creases, grain changes and slight colour variation are natural marks of real leather, not defects.

Caring for leather

  • Dust weekly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth. Dab, don’t rub, and let the area dry naturally.
  • Condition every 6–12 months with a leather conditioner suited to your finish. Test it on a hidden spot first.
  • Keep it at least 50 cm from radiators, heaters and air-conditioning vents, and out of strong direct sunlight, to stop drying, cracking and fading.

Avoid

  • Soaking with water or using steam cleaners
  • Household detergents, alcohol, solvents, ammonia or bleach
  • Furniture polishes, silicone sprays and baby wipes
  • Sharp objects, belt buckles and pet claws

Material 02

Velvet

Velvet has a short, dense pile that catches the light and feels soft to the touch. Its colour looks deeper or lighter depending on the direction of the pile, which is part of its character.

Light marks where the pile has been pressed (from sitting or cushions) are normal and can be brushed or steamed back.

Caring for velvet

  • Vacuum weekly on low suction with a soft brush attachment.
  • Brush gently in the direction of the pile with a soft clothes brush to keep it even.
  • Blot spills at once with a clean, dry, white cloth. Don’t rub.
  • Lift crushed pile with a handheld steamer held a few centimetres away, then brush lightly.
  • Plump and rotate cushions regularly, and keep out of strong direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Avoid

  • Soaking or scrubbing the pile
  • Bleach or harsh household cleaners
  • Ironing directly on the fabric

Material 03

Upholstery fabrics

Woven upholstery fabrics in soft, natural tones, made from blends of polyester, rayon and natural fibres such as cotton. They are designed for soft upholstery and suit living rooms and bedrooms with light to moderate everyday use.

Jacquards

The pattern is woven into the fabric, not printed on, giving each design a gentle texture and depth.

Caring for upholstery fabrics

  • Vacuum weekly with a soft brush attachment to lift dust and grit from the weave.
  • Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry, white cloth, working from the outside in.
  • Plump, turn and rotate loose cushions regularly so they wear evenly.
  • Keep out of strong direct sunlight to protect the colour.

Cleaning

  • Dry clean only. For stains or a deep clean, use a professional upholstery cleaner.
  • Don’t machine wash or tumble dry removable covers.
  • Don’t use bleach, solvents or household stain removers.

Swatches are shown as accurately as possible, but colours vary between screens. If an exact colour match matters to you, message us before you order.

For every piece

Everyday care

Light and heat

Sunlight and heat fade and dry out every material. Use curtains or blinds during peak sun and keep furniture away from heaters and vents.

Spills

Act fast and blot, never rub. Most marks lift easily if they are dealt with before they dry.

Even wear

Rotate and plump cushions every week or two, and move throw pillows around so no single spot takes all the wear.

Professional care

For deep cleaning, re-upholstery or repairs, our furniture care team can restore your piece.
