Caring for your leather to ensure long time use

Each leather item has a color and gloss that is uniquely your own. Even when using the same leather, looks vary from item to item. With just a little effort, you can care for your unique leather and ensure long time usage.

In order to maintain your precious item for many years to come, we recommend that you care for your leather.

"But, leather care is complicated..."

We have heard this concern before, but in fact it is very simple.
With the necessary tools for care and just a little bit of effort, you can use these 4 steps to maintain your leather for years.

Point 1 - Remove any dust from the surface

Gently wipe and brush with a dry, soft brush to remove any dust on the surface of the leather accessories.

Point 2 - Remove any conspicuous dirt

Use a leather eraser on noticeable areas of dirt.
Depending on the type of leather, excessive strong rubbing may cause discoloration, please be cautious.

Point 3 - Maintain with waterproof spray

Once dirt has been removed, spray the waterproof spray from about 30cm from the surface so that it coats lightly.
Dry about one minute after the application, please wipe with a soft cloth.

Point 4 - Use a moisturizing cream

Apply a small amount of oil or cream.
Since there is a possibility to stain the leather with a large amount of oil or cream, please take care.
Oil will penetrate the leather, please dry off by wiping with a soft cloth.

If Leather Gets Wet

Leather, may become stained when wet with water or sweat.
In addition, darkening may also occur.

If the leather gets wet in the rain, then wipe gently with a soft cloth in a well-ventilated place not exposed to the elements, please let it dry naturally.
Any attempts to speed up the drying process, with things such as a hair dryers or heaters, will cause wrinkles and/or cracks in the leather. Please avoid these actions altogether.

If Leather is Scratched or Has Dirt Adhering to it

It depends on the type of leather, but dirt adhering to the leather surface may be removed by rubbing lightly with a leather dedicated eraser.
If rubbing too strongly, due to friction, there is a chance in which color becomes faded. Please use caution.
※ Please check the caring guide above for the leather type you are using.
For dirt that has adhered into the leather, it can not be erased.

For faint scratches, they will become unnoticeable simply by wiping with a little water. Deep scratches can not be removed however.
