Leather garments
Leather is a hard-wearing yet sensitive natural material. As leather ages, it develops a beautiful patina, showcasing its unique character and history over time.
Handling leather garments
Wear your leather garments in dry weather conditions to prevent stains and damage.
Avoid using the same leather garment every day to let it breathe and maintain its texture.
Cleaning leather garments
Regular dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth to dust off leather items regularly. Promptly remove surface stains from dirt, salt, alcohol, or other harmful elements while they are still fresh.
Professional cleaning: For tough stains or overall cleaning, consider taking your leather item to a professional cleaner experienced with leather.
Storing leather garments
Store leather items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading and drying out.
Use a breathable fabric cover, such as a cotton bag, to protect from dust without trapping moisture.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade and dry out leather.
