Leather Care Tips
To keep your handmade leather goods looking their best for years, here are some simple care tips:
1. Keep it dry
Avoid prolonged exposure to water. If your leather gets wet, gently wipe off excess moisture with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally — away from direct heat or sunlight.
2. Condition regularly
Leather can dry out over time. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner every few months to keep it supple and prevent cracks. Always test the conditioner on a small hidden area first.
3. Avoid harsh chemicals
Do not use alcohol, acetone, or household cleaners on your leather. These can damage the surface and remove its natural oils.
4. Store properly
When not in use, keep your leather item in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic bags — instead, use a cotton dust bag or breathable cover to prevent mildew.
5. Handle with care
Natural leather develops a unique patina over time. Small scratches or marks are normal and add to its character. You can gently buff them with small amount of leather conditioner.
