Leather is a natural product and often has imperfections on the hide itself.

There are seven main types of imperfections on a natural cowhide, namely:

1. insect bites or skin condition
2. scratch marks
3. stretch marks
4. small holes in the leather
5. peeling of the epidermal layer
6. brand marks (technically brandmarks are not natural, but most cowhides have brandmarks)
7. colour variation

We produce high quality furniture and take tremendous pride in doing so. Please note the leather used for our items has not been artificially enhanced, and we aim to maintain the original character of the raw materials we use. Also be aware that natural leather markings are normal to appear in upholstered item, e.g., healed scars, variations in graining, wrinkles, veining, differences in colour tone, tick bites, thorn marks, etc. These are distinctive signs of the animal’s life which also accentuates the genuineness of the leather, while revealing the authentic robustness of the natural skin.  Wooden furniture will show knots and small cracks and will show colour variation – especially on Blackwood.  This is part of the nature of the product and cannot be seen as a defect.

• Never expose your upholstered leather couch or chair to direct sunlight. This will cause the leather to fade faster.
• Regular treating of leather furniture with Incanda’s specialised leather food is advisable. The product is available at all our showrooms. We advise that you treat your furniture once or twice a year. Should you live in an area with extreme weather conditions, we advise more regular treatments (every three to six months).
• It is important to be aware that all types of leather inevitably fade over time, and fading is not an indication of material of a poor quality. We can therefore not be held responsible for the natural fading of the leather used for the manufacturing of our furniture.
• Any liquid spills on furniture should be wiped off immediately with a wet cloth.
• If your couch will be used in a high traffic area, or should you be concerned about unavoidable or possible spillage on a couch, it is advisable to let us treat the furniture with a fibre protection sealant.  While fibre protection sealant helps, it is still not an absolute guarantee against spills.  Fibre protection must be repeated annually to have the maximum effect.

• Avoid exposing your fabric upholstered furniture to direct sunlight, as this will cause the fabric to fade faster.
• Spills can be wiped off or even washed off using a standard household fabric cleaner.
• A fibre protection (scotch guarding) is recommended for high traffic areas in order to improve stain resistance.
• Cushions with loose filling should be puffed up regularly to disperse the filling evenly and to ensure soft and comfortable seating. Should the filling not puff up sufficiently for any reason, kindly contact one of our showrooms for assistance.

• You can treat our Blackwood and Oakwood furniture with Woodoc furniture wax, which can be purchased at any hardware store. We recommend you use the yellow bottle with the red cap. It is optional to sand the wood lightly down with a very fine (200 grain) sanding paper.
• Please note Mr Min is not recommended to use on either Blackwood or Oakwood. Rather use a weak Sunlight liquid solution.

Yes we do! For a small fee, we offer a cushion restuffing service. Contact your nearest showroom.

Sustainable use of wood

Incanda furniture uses three species of wood in our furniture:

1. The first one, called Australian Blackwood (Acacia Melanoxylon) was introduced into the South African temperate coastal forests in the early nineteen hundreds as an alternative timber source to the local hardwoods which have been extensively harvested in our forests.  Blackwood has since become invasive and is outgrowing our local hardwoods, to such an extent that it causes serious threats to the biodiversity in the forests.  The trees are therefore cleared constantly in order to restore the natural balance in the forests.  The usage of this wood in furniture is by no means harmful to nature and it is definitely sustainably harvested.
2. The second wood is American White Oak (Quercus Alba).  It is one of the preeminent hardwoods of eastern and central North America.  The wood is sustainably harvested with the department of forestry having a policy of replacing more forests than are harvested.  Our importers of the wood are registered suppliers and all timber has a mark of approval as being sustainably harvested.
3. The third species is Cluster Pine (Pinus Pinaster), which has been introduced to South Africa from Europe.  As is the case with Australian Blackwood, it has been planted extensively all over South Africa.  It is commercially grown and is sustainably harvested.  Cluster Pine also proliferates outside of forestry areas and therefore poses a threat to the biodiversity of our natural forests.  The harvesting of Cluster Pine is therefore beneficial to the protecting of the biodiversity in South Africa.

Apart from these three wood species, which are all sustainably harvested, we do not use any other wood originating in natural or rain forests.  Be assured that when purchasing Incanda furniture you are not harming any natural forest in any way whatsoever.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you deliver to my area?

We deliver to all cities and towns within the South-African borders. There may occasionally be a remote or high-risk area that may not be serviced by our couriers, but in these isolated cases, we will contact the customer to make alternative arrangements before the order is dispatched.

What if I am not home when delivery occurs?

Our third-party service providers will make a reasonable number of delivery arrangements with customers to ensure that delivery is completed. Should they be unable to deliver after a reasonable number of arrangements, the goods will be returned to our warehouse. We advise customers to see our Terms and Conditions for more information.

How can I track my order?

Our distribution office will email tracking details to you as soon as your order has been dispatched. The tracking number may be used to track your parcel directly with the courier or with our distribution office, which can be done telephonically or online.

What if my order is damaged or lost in transit?

It is important that cartons be checked for visible damages and that the number of cartons/parcels delivered corresponds with the number indicated on the waybill. Please note that the number of items you have ordered may not correspond with the number of cartons as more than one item may be packaged in one carton (e.g. two dining chairs may be packaged in one carton). Should there be any discrepancy or visible damages, this should be clearly indicated on the waybill and be reported to us within 48 hours from receipt of order. We advise you to read our Terms and Conditions for more detailed information.
