Leather isn’t just a purchase, it’s an investment. Whether it’s a wallet, belt, or bag, proper care is the key to preserving your leather accessory’s elegance and longevity. Here’s a practical leather maintenance guide to keep your James Aston pieces looking fresh and fabulous.
1. Keep It Dry (But Not Parched)
Water is leather’s worst enemy. If your leather product gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally. Avoid hair dryers or direct sunlight.
Pro Tip: Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore its moisture.
2. Clean It Gently
Use a damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner to wipe off dust and dirt. Never soak your leather item or use household cleaners, they’ll strip away natural oils.
3. Moisturize Regularly
Just like skin, leather needs hydration. Use a quality leather conditioner every few months to keep it soft, supple, and crack-free.
James Aston Tip: Our leather responds best to neutral pH conditioners.
4. Avoid Overstuffing
Don’t force extra cards or cash into your wallet or overload your bag. Stretching damages the leather’s structure and shape.
5. Store It Right
Keep your leather items in a breathable cloth bag, away from direct heat or humidity. Never store them in plastic.
6. Protect from Stains
Leather is porous and stains easily. Keep ink pens capped, avoid food contact, and handle with clean hands. Consider a leather protector spray for added safety.
Final Word
If you’re wondering how to care for leather, just remember: it’s all about balance. Clean, condition, store, and repeat. With just a bit of effort, your James Aston accessories will stay timeless for years.
