General protection
At Leroy, we are using almost all our products vegetable tanned leather, with proper care this type of leather can last for decades. Please use the following guidelines:
• Avoid overfilling your handbag, briefcase or duffle bag;
• If you are using your bag daily, wipe away dust and spots with a soft brush or cloth each week;
• Keep the bag out of direct sunlight and heavy rain for an extended period;
• We recommended using specialised care products such as wax or cream once a month to add a layer of protection, repelling minor scuffs and scratches and a barrier against dirt and moisture.
• Always choose a cream that contains only natural waxes;
• You must store goods like deodorant, fragrance, cologne, balsams, shampoo, etc. in a separate bag;
• Apply a waterproofing spray before having your leather bag come into contact with denim and other non-colourfast materials.
Storage
If you don't use the bag, store it in their dust covers, or plan to leave it for more than a month, use leather cream before storing it in the dust cover.
Please make sure your bag is:
•Stored away from artificial sources of heat and high humidity, e.g. radiators can cause the leather to dry and crack.
• Don't use plastic bags; use a dust cover to allow good ventilation.
•Remove all goods from inside.
•You can put paper or bubble wrap to maintain a rigid form of the bag.
• Don't use newspaper or similar products, which has a high risk of print to rub off onto the inside.
•Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
Quick tips to follow:
• Clean the leather with a soft brush or cloth no less than once in 2 weeks;
• Expose regularly lather to air;
• Remove away water or moisture quickies as you;
• Dry wet leather naturally, don't use heaters;
• Use a specialised leather wax and cream no less than once in 3-6 months;
• Clean stain and spots with a mixture of soap flakes and warm water;
• Don't use a steam cleaner;
• Leather is not suitable for machine wash and ironing.
• Don't use too much water when clean leather.
