Leather Care

GENUINE LEATHER

The true beauty of genuine leather/suede is accentuated by the scars, pits and scratches which become a part of every animal as it comes in contact with its natural environment, conclusive proof that your product is genuine. Leather contains oil to keep it soft and pliable, these can be dried out by excessive heat.

LEATHER NEEDS SPECIAL CARE AND SHOULD BE DRY CLEANED BY A DRY CLEANING SPECIALIST

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:

Recent liquid spills bead up on the surface of the leather, and can be blotted away with a absorbent cloth or tissue.

For suede, always end the cleaning process by brushing the leather gently with a suede brush
