HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR LEATHER

LEATHER LUGGAGE & WALLETS

Due to the high quality of Rodd & Gunn leather goods, our collection of leather bags and wallets will organically wear beautifully over time. Here are a few things you can do to add to the longevity of your luggage;

1. Clean your leather bag by dusting off any surface dirt regularly or spot clean with a mix of gentle detergent and water when needed.

2. Condition with a high-quality leather conditioner and massage into the pattern of the grain with a soft cloth (always spot-test the conditioner on the inside of the bag to ensure appropriate color matching).

3. Store your leather luggage in a wardrobe or cloth dust-bag to avoid damage from harsh light or sun exposure.

4. Prevent your leather wallet from drying out by scheduling a periodic condition; use a soft cloth to work the product into the leather and brush excess away with a horsehair brush.

SHOES & BOOTS

Dependent on how much you wear your Rodd & Gunn boots or dress shoes, all leather shoes need a level of protection and care. Here’s how you can keep your leather shoes looking like new;

1. Protect your shoes with a high-quality waterproofing spray or cream. Always spot-test the leather on the inside of the shoe to avoid discoloration.

2. Keep your shoes clean from excess dirt, dust, and grease by using a soft shoe brush.

3. Condition your shoes with a high-quality cream or leather care product. When applying to stitching or patterned areas, ensure you use a horsehair shoe brush to remove any excess product.

4. Apply polish to leather dress shoes or boots with a soft brush or polish cloth to add shine and color. Always spot-test the color in an inconspicuous area to avoid color-matching mistakes.
