DO’S

• Store your leather article in a dry storage space, away from direct sunlight, especially if you are not going to use your leather article every day.
• Use a desiccant-like silica gel to keep moisture at bay, especially during humid monsoon months.
• To clean leather, wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth. If there is a lot of dirt or grime build-up, clean with a Soap (leather cleaner), with a soft damp cloth in a light circular motion.
• If leather feels dry, rough, or hard over time, nourish it with limited amounts of olive oil* with a soft cloth.
• Leathers are not waterproof. While it can take a few drops of water, if it ever gets soaked through, you need to do some damage control. Gently dab with a dry cotton cloth and leave it in a dark, airy place, stuffed with a cloth/padding to retain its shape as it is drying.

Don’ts

• Never clean leather with detergents, cleaning sprays, or other harsh cleaning agents.
• Do not store leather in damp places; this will cause mildew and mold to grow on the leather. And never in plastic wrappers or bags.
• Do not leave in high-heat areas for long periods of time.
• Never use a high heat source, such as a blow dryer to dry damp leather. If it is dried in this way, it will get dehydrated too fast and lose shape.
