        LEATHER 

        (strictly for reference only. If unsure, please seek professional advice)

          1. How do I care for small leather goods like a wallet or a card case?
            The "best" way to care for leather is to use it. And some TLC with a little leather cleaner/conditioner every now and then is all you need to clean, nourish and protect it for years of faithful service!

          2. How much leather cleaner/conditioner should I apply?
            Less is more when it comes to leather care. And ALWAYS test on a inconspicuous area first to test for color fastness.

          3. How often should I clean my leather goods?
            There are no hard and fuss rules. You can do it every less or more often depending on usage.

            For ongoing maintenance, all you need is dust off any surface dust/dirt with a clean cloth followed by cleaning it gently with a clean, damp cloth (not dripping wet!). Then leave it to dry naturally. *Keep the hair dryer for your hair only!

          4. Do you have any leather care tips?

            Here are some tips yo can't take note of. Its not an exhaustive list because there are so many scenarios when it comes to stains for instance. So if in doubt, drop us a message, we will try our bestsellers to help. For stubborn stains, always bring your leather to a professional for treatment.
        Protection
        Avoid direct heat source for prolong period to prevent dry out or cracks. Eg. on the dashboard of your car; on the oven top etc.

        Keep leather dry. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally.

        Clean and condition your leather often to prevent cracking/dry out and to bring back the sheen and suppleness. IMPORTANT: When using any cleaning solutions on leather, always test it on a less obvious area.

        Avoid placing sharp objects such as keys with leather to prevent scratches.

        Avoid possible contact with inks, oil and fragrance.

        Always placed unused leather products in a box or dust bag. Tip: Reuse the original packaging for storage.

        Avoid overstretching a wallet/card holders with too many cards. It will cause the leather to lose its shape. Its a good practice to do regular "housekeeping"

        Stains
        For surface dirt, clean with a damp cloth and let dry.

        Treat stains from food/skin by blotting it with a piece of clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe as it will spread the stain.

        Do not scrub or brush a stain on a particular spot as it may lighten the color of the leather.

        Do not leave printed items such as newspapers or magazines on leather as the inks may bleed and transfer onto the leather surface.

        Be mindful of color transfer from new denim apparels. Some color dyes on denim may not be stable and may transfer its color onto lighter leather accessories.
