How to Care for Your Leather Items – Keep Them Looking Their Best
Leather is an investment, and with proper care, your pieces will last for years while developing a rich, beautiful patina. Follow these simple steps to keep your leather wallets, bags, and accessories in top condition:
-
Keep it Clean – Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
-
Condition Regularly – Leather can dry out over time. Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep it soft, moisturized, and prevent cracking. Avoid applying conditioner to the cowhide fur.
-
Avoid Excess Moisture – If your leather gets wet, let it air dry naturally. Never use direct heat like a hairdryer, as it can cause damage.
-
Store Properly – Keep your leather items in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can cause fading and drying.
-
Handle with Clean Hands – Oils and dirt from your hands can stain leather over time. Be mindful when handling lighter-colored pieces.
-
Protect Against Stains – If you accidentally spill something, blot (don’t rub) the area with a clean cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.
How to Care for Hair-On Cowhide
Your cowhide bag is a statement piece—rugged, unique, and built to last. To keep it looking its best for years to come, follow these simple care tips:
🖤 Avoid Excess Moisture: While cowhide is durable, too much water can damage the leather. If your bag gets wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally.
🖤 Brush & Shake Regularly: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris from the hair-on-hide areas. A light shake helps loosen dirt trapped in the fur.
🖤 Keep Away from Direct Heat & Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can dry out the leather and cause fading. Store your bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
🖤 Spot Clean with Care: If needed, use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean stains—never soak or scrub aggressively. Always test on a small area first.
🖤 Store Properly: When not in use, store your bag in a breathable dust bag or pillowcase to prevent dust buildup and protect the leather. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap moisture.
With proper care, your cowhide/leather accessories will age beautifully, becoming even more unique over time! 🤎✨
