Leather Care
Clean
1. Keep the leather clean. Try to brush your leather down
with a damp cloth at least once a week.
2. Use a soft brushto remove dust particles from the crevices of the leather.
3. Do not use any soaps, detergent or hard cleansers. Do
blot away water or moisture as soon as possible. Dry the
wet leather naturally, away from artificial heat.
4. Always do a patch test in a discreet area such as the
inside or the bottom of your bag. Check how the cleaning
solution reacts to your leather.
5. Dip a clean cloth into the cleaning solution and gently
wipe your bag. Avoid rubbing too hard.
6. Allow the bag to dry naturally once you’ve cleaned all
the surfaces.
7. Dry your leather slowly. Drying leather quickly will change its
chemical structure, causing it to become brittle and crack.
Moisturize
1. If you find that your leather is starting to dry out or crack it
may be time to moisturize the material.
2. Buy a leather dressing or a leather cream. There are a
number of oils and waxes that can help you reduce the
cracks and dryness in your leather.
3. Dab a little bit of the leather cream on a clean cloth. Apply
the cream on the base or insides of the bag as a patch test.
4. Using gentle circular strokes, rub your entire bag.
5. If you don’t have any leather cream or dressing, you can
use any petroleum jelly or a natural oil such as coconut oil.
Always do a patch test.
6. It helps to maintain the softness of the leather and help
prevent it from cracking. it will increase the life of leather
by atleast 5 10 years.
7. Even if you haven’t used your leather item for many years,
don’t just keep it stored in a glass display case. You need to
dress the leather periodically.
Maintain Your Leather
1. Keep leather items out of the sun. The sun
will dry the leather out and cause it to
become brittle.
2. Keep the items in a cool, dry place when not
in use.
3. Don’t keep your leather in plastic either.
Removing all air supply from the leather is
bad for the material.
4. Keep leather away from abrasives that can
scuff or cut it.
5. Add moisture to your leather.
