Our good friends at Obbi Good Label in Singapore have teamed up with Dr. Sole, a leather goods and repair specialist based in Taiwan to rework an OGL classic sandal. Dr. Sole has deconstructed the sandal keeping just the vegetable tanned leather upper and footbed, they have then added an EVA midsole with a Dr. Sole Originals #4210 Dur-lite “Dragon Scale” outsole. The advantages of this is not only improved traction and comfort but also the ability to change the entire sole unit should you wear through it over the years, meaning you will not need to lose the beautiful patina you’ve developed on the uppers.

Leather Care

Cowhide

- Cowhide is one of the most widely used leathers, offering a balance of durability and flexibility. It has a slightly looser grain than horsehide, giving it a softer hand and a bit more give, while still offering excellent wear resistance


- Over time, cowhide will develop character through creasing, subtle color changes, and patina — especially in full-grain and vegetable-tanned versions. It’s generally more forgiving than horsehide and less prone to cracking, though it can still dry out if neglected


- Conditioning helps maintain suppleness and prevent drying or stiffening. Apply a small amount of neutral leather conditioner when the leather starts to feel dry or loses its luster — usually every 6–12 months depending on use. Work the conditioner in with a soft cloth and buff off any excess to avoid buildup, which can dull the surface or attract dirt


- For cleaning, wipe with a dry or lightly dampened cloth to remove dust and grime. For more stubborn dirt, a small amount of mild soap can be used with water — just make sure to test on a hidden area first. Never soak the leather. If the leather gets wet, blot gently and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature, away from heat sources, then condition if needed to restore moisture

Over time, the brand has expanded its range beyond leather to include thoughtfully designed bags, jewellery and garments—always guided by the same principles of durability, function, and timeless appeal.

Singapore-based Obbi Good Label was founded in 2008, originally specialising in rugged, handcrafted leather goods—with each piece meticulously made in-house by skilled artisans, ensuring exceptional quality and longevity.
