Proper leather care helps:

General Leather Care Tips
Keep Leather Clean
Regularly wipe your leather garment with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and surface dirt.
For light cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and gently wipe the affected area.
Avoid soaking leather with water.
Avoid Excessive Moisture
Leather should never remain wet for extended periods.
If your garment becomes wet:
- Allow it to air dry naturally.
- Hang it on a padded hanger.
- Keep it away from direct sunlight.
- Never use a hair dryer or heater.
Store Leather Properly
Proper storage helps maintain the shape of your garment.
We recommend:
- Using wide padded hangers.
- Hanging garments in a cool, dry place.
- Allowing air circulation.
- Keeping leather away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Plastic Covers
Leather needs to breathe.
Instead of plastic garment bags, use breathable cotton garment bags for long-term storage.
Cleaning Leather Jackets
Leather jackets require regular maintenance to preserve their appearance.
Routine Cleaning
- Remove dust using a soft microfiber cloth.
- Wipe gently with a damp cloth when necessary.
- Allow the jacket to dry naturally.
- Never machine wash genuine leather jackets.
Removing Stains
For light stains:
- Use a clean damp cloth.
- Gently blot the affected area.
- Avoid rubbing aggressively.
For oil stains, ink stains, or stubborn marks, consult a professional leather cleaning specialist.
Caring for Leather Coats & Blazers
Leather coats and blazers should be cleaned and conditioned periodically.
For best results:
- Store on wide padded hangers.
- Avoid folding whenever possible.
- Keep away from direct sunlight.

Caring for Leather Pants, Shorts & Skirts
Leather bottoms experience frequent movement and require occasional maintenance.

Caring for Leather Corsets
Leather corsets require special care to maintain their structure and finish.

- Loosen laces before storage.

Caring for Motorcycle Apparel
Motorcycle leather gear is exposed to demanding riding conditions.
After each ride:

- Allow moisture to dry naturally.
