Welcome to the Leather Heats Leather Care Guide! Real leather is a timeless material that, with proper care, only gets better with age. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your leather goods in excellent condition—from day-to-day care to storage tips. With a bit of attention, your leather items can last a lifetime.

Everyday Care

Caring for your leather items daily can prevent wear and maintain their look. Follow these simple tips:

  • Avoid Overloading: Leather can stretch when overfilled. To retain your accessory’s shape, avoid overloading wallets, purses, and bags.
  • Gentle Cleaning: Wipe away dust and dirt weekly with a soft cloth or a natural brush. This helps maintain its finish and prevents dullness.
  • Prevent Scratches: To keep the leather smooth and flawless, avoid contact with sharp surfaces and rough materials.
  • Shield from Moisture: Wet leather requires special care. If there’s rain in the forecast, consider an umbrella or protective bag to keep your items dry.

Storage Tips

Proper storage is crucial for maintaining leather’s natural beauty and preventing damage.

  • Keep Away from Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade leather. Store your items in a cool, shaded area.
  • Use Dust Bags: Place handbags in dust bags to avoid scratches.
  • Avoid Plastic Bags: Plastic can trap moisture and limit ventilation, which isn’t ideal for leather.
  • Stay Away from Heat: Heat from radiators or direct sources can cause leather to dry out and crack.

Wallets, Card Holders & Small Accessories

Wallets, cardholders, and other small accessories benefit from specific care:

  • Choose the Right Fit: Select styles that suit your needs to avoid overstuffing pockets and compartments.
  • Use Designated Storage: When placing these items in bags, use a separate compartment or zip pocket to prevent scratches and imprints.
  • Regular Dusting: Gently wipe or brush these items weekly to remove dust and preserve their finish.
