General Leather Care Tips

• Keep it Dry: Avoid exposing leather to excessive moisture. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally. Do not use a heat source to speed up the drying process.
• Store Properly: Store leather items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a breathable garment bag for jackets or coats to prevent dust accumulation.
• Avoid Overloading: For bags or accessories, avoid overstuffing to maintain their shape.

Cleaning and Conditioning

• Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner suitable for the type of leather.
• Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft and supple. This prevents cracking and extends the lifespan of the product.

Specific Tips for Different Leathers

• Napa Leather: Clean with a damp cloth and condition every 6 months to maintain its softness.
• Cowhide: Use a cleaner for tougher leathers and condition as needed to prevent drying out.
• Sheepskin: Spot clean gently and use a leather conditioner to preserve its lightweight nature.
• Lambskin: Handle delicately; clean with a soft cloth and condition with a specialized product for fine leathers.
• Faux Shearling: Spot clean with mild detergent and avoid excessive moisture.
• Metallic Leather: Use a soft cloth for cleaning and avoid abrasive materials to maintain its finish.

Long-Term Maintenance

• Reproofing: For certain leather types, consider reproofing treatments to maintain water resistance.
• Professional Care: For deep cleaning or restoration, consult a professional leather care service.
