Avoid setting leather in direct sunlight or soaking it in liquids. Discoloration and bleaching from the sun may occur, while liquids can result in staining, discoloration, and cracking on the surface of the piece.

For general care, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt, and condition the piece regularly.

To condition, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to a lint-free cloth and gently rub it into the leather in a thin, even coat. Let it dry for at least two hours or overnight. Then, buff off any excess.

Leather creams are suitable for aniline leathers, while natural oils like lanolin and neatsfoot can soften leather. Waxes provide more waterproofing.

If the leather gets wet, immediately blot it gently with a clean, dry cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
