Mastering Leather Care

Everyday Leather Care Essentials

  • Shield from Sunlight and Heat

    Keep leather goods away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent fading, drying, or cracking.

  • Rain Protection

    Carry an umbrella to shield leather items from heavy rain, as excessive moisture can lead to damage and mold growth.

  • Regular Cleaning

    Dust and dirt can accumulate over time, dulling the leather's appearance. Use a soft, dry cloth or brush weekly to keep your items clean and looking new.

  • Avoid Overfilling

    Stuffing your leather bags or wallets can stretch the material and weaken the seams. Keep them comfortably packed to retain their original shape and longevity.

  • Prevent Scratches

    Protect leather surfaces by keeping them away from sharp or abrasive items. For added care, store your items in a fabric pouch or cover when not in use.

  • Store Properly

    Use dust bags or cotton covers to protect them from dirt and scratches. Avoid stacking heavy items on top to maintain their shape and durability.

Cleaning Leather

Regularly wipe down your leather items with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust and dirt buildup. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically formulated for the material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather's finish.

Conditioning Leather

Keep your leather products supple and moisturized by conditioning them regularly. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to a clean, soft cloth and gently massage it into the leather using circular motions. Conditioning helps prevent dryness, cracking, and fading, especially in dry or humid environments.

Storing Leather Products 

Store your leather items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or containers, as these can trap moisture and lead to mold growth. Instead, use breathable fabric dust bags to protect your leather from dust and scratches.

Handling Leather Products

Handle your leather goods with care to avoid unnecessary wear and tear. When carrying leather bags or accessories, distribute weight evenly to prevent strain on the handles or straps. Avoid excessive bending or folding, as this can cause creases and permanent damage to the leather.
