This guide outlines the essential techniques we recommend to maintain the life and luxury of your leather apparel and accessories.
Understanding Leather: Materials and Durability
We use only the finest, hand-selected Grade AAA leather, delivering unmatched durability, softness, and feel. Leather is a natural material that ages with grace — but it needs care.
Leather types we use:
- Full-Grain Cow Leather: Extremely strong and durable. Resistant to wear and develops a rich patina over time.
- Goat & Sheep Leather: Softer and more refined. Requires more delicate care to maintain its look and feel.
Why Our Leather Lasts Longer:
Every item is handmade by skilled artisans with 20+ years of experience. We eliminate middlemen to offer premium leather at a fair price. Our personalized and bespoke leather services ensure perfect fit and reduced wear — meaning your investment lasts longer.

Leather Maintenance
1. How to Clean Leather Clothing & BDSM Gear
Even though leather naturally resists dirt, it still needs maintenance.- Light Cleaning: Use baby wipes or leather-safe wipes for daily cleaning. These remove dirt and dust gently without damaging the leather.
- Deep Cleaning: Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild soap. Gently wipe stains without soaking the leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.
- Sweat & Odors: Leather can absorb sweat. Wipe down items after use in hot or humid conditions to prevent staining or smells.
- Water Contact: Leather isn’t waterproof. If wet, pat dry with a soft towel and allow to air dry naturally, away from heat sources.
2. Preventing Creases in Leather
When folded or stored improperly, creases can form. We include a special paper with every order to help you remove them. Our Made-to-Measure service also reduces tension at seams.

Ironing Tip:
Lay the provided paper over the crease and gently iron on the cotton setting. The paper acts as a barrier to protect the leather surface.
Storing and Conditioning Leather
1. How to Store Leather Properly
- Cool, Dry Area: Keep your leather away from direct sunlight to avoid fading and drying.
- Avoid Humidity: Moisture encourages mold or mildew — always store in a dry, ventilated space.
- Support the Shape: Hang garments using wide hangers. Store accessories in breathable fabric bags to avoid stretching.
Note: Leather is strong but can scratch or puncture. Keep away from sharp objects when storing.
2. Conditioning Leather
Leather needs occasional conditioning to stay supple and avoid drying out. Use a high-quality conditioner appropriate for your leather type.- When to Condition: Every few months, or when leather feels dry or stiff — especially with frequent wear.
