Leather products

Leather is a natural and incredibly durable material that will age beautifully with time. Leather needs care from time to time, and these simple instructions will help you take good care of your leather product. Also check the care label provided with your leather product.

Cleaning

Wipe dust and dirt from your leather product with a soft brush or damp cloth. When a thorough cleaning is needed, use a professional leather cleaning service.

Take care with the right tools

Check the condition of your leather product regularly. If wear or tear begins to appear, treat the product with a leather care gel. The gentle gel cleanses and conditions the surface of the leather product, giving it light protection.

Use

Use

Leather is a natural material that typically experiences deformation during use. To keep your product in shape, avoid overfilling it. Folding leather straps and handles too tightly may damage them or leave marks.

Storing

Storing

Keep leather products away from direct sunlight and high heat.

Drying wet leather

If your leather product gets wet, allow it to air dry at room temperature. You can dab the item with a clean, light-colored cloth, but never dry leather with a hairdryer or in a hot place.
