This meticulous selection process guarantees a rich, natural patina that enhances with age, offering both durability and elegance.
By following these tips, you can ensure your leather items maintain their durability, texture, and beauty over time.
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a leather cleaner suited to your type of leather.
Avoid using water on leather, as it can cause stains or deform the material. If cleaning with water is necessary, do so sparingly and blot the area instead of rubbing.
Conditioning
Leather can dry out over time, so applying a leather conditioner or cream helps keep it supple and prevents cracking.
Apply the conditioner with a soft cloth, working it gently. Always do a patch test in a discreet area first.
Protection
Keep leather away from direct sunlight, as it can fade the color and dry out the material.
Keep leather away from chemicals like alcohol, perfumes, or harsh cleaning products that could damage the surface or color.
Storage
Store leather items in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources.
For bags, wallets, or shoes, stuff them with tissue or a form to maintain their shape.
Use a dust bag or cover to protect leather goods from dust and dirt when not in use.
Repairs
For small scratches or scuffs, leather polish or a specialist repair kit can help blend them.
For major damage, it might be best to consult a professional leather repair service.
