Leather clothing & apparel care

Care safety measures

We recommend spraying any leather item: soak well before the first use, unless the manufacturer has indicated that it is made of processed leather.

Basic caring rules for leather things

• It would be best if you tried any care first on the inside of the material.
• Never use an acidic solution.
• You should hang wet leather items on special hangers to dry at room temperature.
• Never store leather items in plastic bags.
• Ironing can only be done on the wrong side (use a cloth, cover the garment and iron in Woollens mode).
• Protect from intense (direct) sunlight.
• When used in a car, seats without padding will cause friction and heat, which can cause colours to rub off (sand).

SUEDE, NUBUK: leather with a rough surface

Suede crack, the coarse-grained crack, may lose its appearance the first time it is worn.

• can be restored with a vacuum cleaner,
• can be polished with damp suede,
• can be fixed with a sticky roller,
• when putting on leather things for the first time, select other clothes according to the colour.

Raindrops

• Brush the suede when the fibre is glued, using a sponge or rubber brush in different directions: along and against the nap.

Cleaning Tips

• Clean suede clothing regularly using a rubber brush or sponge.

Recommendations

• Do not wear suede clothes so that the collar is in contact with your skin.
• Take regular care of your collar, edges of pockets, sleeves end using a rubber brush or a leather eraser.

NAPPA: coloured coating

• Use a soft leather eraser to remove water stains.
• Clean and remove greasy stains using a soft cloth and Nappa polish.
• If heavily soiled: use a skin cleaner, but apply gently.

ANILINE: transparent coating

• Remove scratches with the thumb pad.
• The greasy spots will disappear gradually without any intervention. Just wait.
• Remove greasy ends with a skin eraser.
• Hold water stains over steam.
• Do not use greasy Nappa polish.
• Please note: Aniline leathers have a specific coating and therefore do not need to be cleaned too often.

NAPPALAN: coated suede

• You can wipe water stains and light dirt off the impregnated Nappalan. Use a soft skin eraser. Do not use liquid stain remover (may leave marks and remove coatings).

A specialist should only carry out basic cleaning. Please send your leather item to a cleaning specialist who specializes in cleaning leather.
