3. www.exelfashions.com To keep leather handbags and wallets in pristine condition, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some valuable tips: 1. Regular Cleaning Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the leather’s surface weekly. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner or mild soap. Avoid using harsh detergents or chemicals, as they can strip natural oils from the leather and cause dryness.

4. www.exelfashions.com 2. Condition the Leather Apply a leather conditioner every 2-3 months to keep the leather moisturized and supple. Choose a conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather you have. Gently massage the conditioner into the leather, using a soft cloth, and allow it to air dry. 3. Avoid Overstuffing Overfilling wallets or bags can stretch the leather and cause it to lose shape. To prevent strain on the seams and material, use bags and wallets within their capacity.

5. www.exelfashions.com 4. Store Properly When not in use, keep leather items in a dust bag or a breathable fabric bag. Avoid plastic, as it can trap moisture and cause mold. Place tissue paper or bubble wrap inside handbags to help them retain their shape during storage. 5. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight and Heat Sunlight can cause the leather to fade, crack, or dry out. Store leather products in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

6. www.exelfashions.com 6. Avoid Water Exposure Leather is not waterproof, so avoid using leather items in heavy rain or humid environments. If your leather bag or wallet gets wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally (never use a heat source to dry it). 7. Handle with Clean Hands Oils and dirt from your hands can transfer to the leather over time. Wash your hands before handling light-colored leather, as it is especially prone to showing stains and discoloration.

7. www.exelfashions.com 8. Use Leather Protector Sprays For added protection, apply a leather protector spray designed to repel water and prevent stains. Test the spray on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t change the color of the leather. 9. Be Careful with Makeup and Perfume Avoid contact with makeup, oils, or perfumes as these substances can stain the leather. Keep them in separate compartments to prevent spillage on the leather surfaces. 10. Routine Inspections and Minor Repairs Regularly check for any signs of damage, like loose stitches or small tears. Promptly repair minor issues to prevent them from worsening.
