How to Care for Your Leather Products — IN.HIDE Guide

Leather is timeless, natural, and designed to last—but just like any heirloom piece, it deserves the right care. At IN.HIDE, we want your leather bags, wallets, and accessories to look their best for years. Here’s how to protect the integrity, feel, and beauty of your investment:

1. Daily Leather Care Tips

• Keep Dry & Clean: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove dust. For light stains, use a slightly damp cloth—never soak the leather.
• Let It Breathe: Store in a cool, dry place. Use the original cotton dust bag provided, avoiding plastic covers that trap moisture.
• Avoid Overstuffing: Leather can stretch. Don’t overfill bags, wallets, or pouches to help them keep their shape.

2. Protection from the Elements

• Water & Sunlight: Keep your leather away from rain and direct, prolonged sunlight. Both can dry out or discolor leather.
• Heat Sources: Never use a hairdryer or heater to dry wet leather. Instead, gently blot with a towel and let air dry naturally.

3. Cleaning and Conditioning

• Use Quality Products: Clean with specialized leather cleaners—avoid household soaps or harsh chemicals.
• Conditioning: Condition your leather 2-3 times a year using a natural, colorless leather conditioner or cream. Apply sparingly—more isn’t better.

4. Handling Stains & Spills

• Act Fast: Blot spills immediately—do not rub. For oil-based stains, gently dab with a clean, dry cloth.
• Seek Specialists: For tough stains (like ink or wine), consult a leather care professional.

5. Storage & Long-Term Care

• Shape Maintenance: Stuff bags with soft material like muslin cloth to help retain their shape when not in use.
• Metal Hardware: Wipe down zippers and buckles regularly to prevent tarnishing.
• Rotation: Alternate usage of your leather goods to minimize signs of daily wear.

6. What to Avoid

• Chemicals: Perfumes, sanitizers, and makeup can permanently stain or damage leather.
• Sharp Objects: Avoid contact with items that could cause scratches or scuffs.
