Leather Care
Leather is a natural material that, with the right care, can last for decades and grow more beautiful with age. Here are our essential tips to keep your leather goods looking their best.
- Condition Regularly: Leather needs nourishment to stay supple and resist cracking. Apply a neutral leather cream periodically to replenish natural oils and maintain softness.
- Keep Away from Sunlight: Direct sunlight can fade and dry out leather. Store your items in a cool, shaded area when not in use.
- Protect from Heat: Excessive heat can make leather brittle. Avoid placing leather goods near heaters or radiators.
- Use Dust Bags: When storing, place leather items in breathable dust bags to prevent scratches, dust accumulation, and accidental marks.
- Avoid Overfilling: Overstuffing bags or wallets can stretch leather and cause permanent distortion.
- Handle Moisture Quickly: If leather gets wet, gently pat dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally away from heat sources. Never use a hairdryer or direct heat.
- Embrace Imperfections: Natural marks and subtle color variations are part of leather’s charm, making each piece unique.
- Avoid Chemicals & Perfumes: Sprays and chemicals can discolor or damage leather. Apply them away from your leather goods.
- Separate Colors: Store light and dark leather items separately to prevent color transfer and staining.
- Clean Gently: Wipe surface dirt with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, seek professional leather care. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaners.
