Basic Leather Care
-
Baffin Leathers offers a variety of leathers from smooth to pebbled and everything in between. We include a swatch of the leathers used on your handbag or wallet with ever purchase for you to test your products out on to ensure they dont harm the leather.
Cleaning can be as simple as a quick wipe down with a lint-and-dust-free cloth that will not scratch your leather item.
A simple spray treatment can help to waterproof leathers and protect against pesky stains caused from day-to-day use. Please test on your swatches that came with your item first.
Caring for Suede & Nubuck
Suede is a very beautiful leather. Proper care and cleaning is needed to maintain the natural beauty of suede for years to come.
The best investment in suede care is a good Suede and Nubuck Brush. Regular gentle brushing can keep suede clean and refreshed. Scuffs can be removed easily using the eraser side. The rubber crepe feature is great for final overall cleaning.
Suede should be waterproofed regularly to avoid damage from the elements, stains and fade prevention.
When storing suede remember to keep in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight, which can quickly fade suede.
Things to Remember
Cleaning and waterproofing products can darken or change some leather and suede materials. Always spot check products on your swatches first to ensure you can live with results.
Distressed leathers also require special care to ensure longevity. Waterproofing is vital as distressed leathers typically lack the final protective coating that makes the leather shine.
Overall pre-care is the best care. If you choose only one product it should be a waterproof spray. The invisible barrier created against the elements is your first line of defense. -
