We have been receiving more frequently questions around water-proofness and how to take the right care of your leather bracelet. These are very valid questions we would like to cover in this little guide for you:
- Avoid Water Exposure: Leather is susceptible to damage from water, so it's crucial to keep your leather bracelet away from moisture as much as possible. Water exposure can cause the leather to warp, crack, or lose its shape. Reason being, leather is a porous material, meaning it can absorb water. So, it's best to avoid getting leather bracelets wet whenever possible to maintain their appearance and integrity.
- Remove Before Showering or Swimming: Always take off your leather bracelet before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities where it might come into contact with water. Even brief exposure to water can damage the leather.
- Be Mindful of Chemicals: Avoid exposing your leather bracelet to harsh chemicals such as perfumes, hairsprays, or cleaning products. These can damage the leather or cause discoloration.
- Store Properly: When you're not wearing your leather bracelet, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it in a humid environment, as moisture can lead to mold growth.
- Clean Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or dust from the surface of the leather. For tougher stains, you can use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, but be sure to dry the leather thoroughly afterward. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
By following these simple care tips, you can keep your leather bracelet looking great for years to come.
