Care Instructions – Leathers Basket
Every product at Leathers Basket is crafted from the finest, ethically sourced leather — designed to age beautifully and last for years.
Proper care not only preserves the natural beauty of your piece but also enhances its character over time.
Leather is a living material — it breathes, softens, and develops a rich patina with age.
To help you maintain your product’s quality and longevity, please follow the care recommendations below.
General Care Guidelines
- Always store your leather item in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Avoid exposure to excessive moisture, rain, or humidity, as water can damage the natural oils and fibers of genuine leather.
- If the leather becomes wet, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to air dry naturally — never use artificial heat.
- Keep your item away from chemicals, oils, or alcohol-based products that may cause discoloration or damage.
Cleaning Your Leather
- To remove dust or light dirt, use a soft microfiber or cotton cloth to wipe the surface gently.
- For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner recommended for natural leathers. Apply sparingly and evenly in a circular motion.
- Avoid using water, soaps, or household detergents — they may strip the leather’s natural finish and softness.
Conditioning & Protection
- Condition your leather every few months using a premium leather conditioner or balm.
This helps replenish natural oils, maintain flexibility, and prevent cracking or drying. - Before applying any conditioner, test it on a small, hidden area first.
- Avoid over-conditioning, as excess oil can make the leather sticky or attract dust.
Storage Tips
- When not in use, store your product in its original dust bag or a breathable cotton cover to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Do not store leather items in plastic or airtight containers — leather needs airflow to remain supple.
- For structured items like baskets or log carriers, fill them lightly with paper or cloth to help maintain their shape.
Aging with Grace
Genuine leather develops a unique patina with time — a hallmark of authenticity and craftsmanship.
Minor marks, variations, or wrinkles are natural and enhance the product’s individuality.
With proper care, your Leathers Basket piece will age elegantly, becoming more beautiful with every passing year.
