Leather Care
Quality leather is designed to age beautifully with wear. With the right care, your favourite pieces will soften, develop character, and last for years to come.
General Care
- Protect your leather from excessive sunlight, heat, and moisture.
- Avoid contact with oils, perfumes, makeup, and harsh chemicals.
- If leather gets wet, gently pat dry with a soft cloth and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Store footwear and accessories in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Cleaning
- Wipe away dust and dirt regularly using a soft dry or slightly damp cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for genuine leather.
- Avoid soaking leather or using household cleaning products.
Conditioning
Leather naturally dries over time. To maintain softness and prevent cracking:
- Apply a quality leather conditioner every few months.
- Test products on a small hidden area first.
- Use sparingly and buff gently with a soft cloth.
Suede & Nubuck
Suede and nubuck require extra care:
- Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore texture.
- Protect with a suede-specific water and stain protector before wear.
- Avoid water exposure where possible.
Storage Tips
- Use shoe trees or stuff footwear with paper to help maintain shape.
- Store handbags upright and lightly filled to preserve structure.
- Keep items in dust bags where possible.
Natural Characteristics
Leather is a natural material, meaning variations in texture, grain, and colour are part of its unique character and beauty. Minor marks and creasing are considered normal wear and not faults.
