Leather Care Tips
Protect
– Apply leather protector to prevent water spots and stains
– Avoid anything with wax or silicone; it will clog the pores in the leather
– Avoid oil or other fats as it will darken the skin
– Avoid cleaning products with alcohol, turpentine or other mineral spirits
– If it gets dry use a leather cream or conditioner
– Leather, suede and nappa stretch out but not back. Be mindful of what you pack in your accessory, overfill will distort the shape
– Try to avoid touching your bags with recently sanitised hands, this will dry out the leather
Clean
– Remove dirt and dust by wiping with a damp sponge dipped in lukewarm water
– Don’t use direct heat/dryer for water damage, let it air dry instead
– Don’t use cleaning products as they can cause discolouration and dry out the leather
– Use specialised leather cleaning products or take to a specialist
– If leather gets dry use a leather cream or conditioner
– Use a suede brush to clean dust off suede or ensure grain all goes in the same direction
Store
– Store in a cool, dry place and / or in one of our dust bags. Never wrap it in plastic, leather is porous and always needs air
– For straps and chains, if you’re storing for a while, wrap in soft tissue paper. This is to ensure the leather does not rub together or mark
