Cleaning leather items

Leather, a timeless material and a maker of memories, comes from the skins of animals such as cows, lambs, and cattle. Sought after for its suppleness and its robust, elegant style, leather is the perfect material for creating durable and sophisticated items, in particular shoes and jackets. Over time, leather develops a unique patina that enhances its look and brings out its character.

Caring for leather jackets

- Cleaning the surface: Wipe your jacket with a soft, damp cloth (without rubbing too hard) to remove traces of dirt.

- Moisturizing: Apply a special leather balm or cream in a circular motion to maintain suppleness and shine.

- Storage: Store your jacket away from direct light and moisture on a wide hanger to prevent it from becoming misshapen.

Caring for leather shoes

- Cleaning: Regularly use a soft brush to remove dust, and a damp cloth to remove stains.

- Conditioning and moisturizing: Use a polish that matches the color of the leather or a moisturizing lotion to condition the material and prevent it from drying out.

- Protecting: If your shoes are made of suede or Nubuck leather, use a waterproofing spray to create a barrier against moisture and stains while maintaining breathability.
