How to Care for Your Lejon Leather Goods

Keep your Lejon leather goods looking and feeling their best with a few simple habits. Proper care protects the leather’s natural character and extends the life of belts, wallets, and accessories so they age with a rich, lived-in patina.

Quick daily care

• Wipe dust and surface dirt away with a soft, dry cloth after regular use.
• For light soil on the go, use a gentle leather wipe or a damp cloth—avoid soaking the leather.

Cleaning

• Spot clean stains by gently blotting with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Do not rub hard; rubbing can push stains deeper and roughen the grain.
• For more thorough cleaning, use a pH-balanced leather cleaner following the product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Conditioning

• Leather benefits from occasional conditioning to replenish natural oils and prevent dryness. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a soft cloth and work it in evenly. Wipe away any excess.
• How often depends on use and climate—check your pieces every few months and condition when the leather looks or feels dry.

Water and moisture

• If leather gets wet, blot the water with a dry cloth and let the item air dry at room temperature. Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight while drying.
• Persistent damp or mold requires professional cleaning—don’t attempt harsh chemical treatments at home.

Storage

• Store leather in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid plastic bags; use breathable fabric or a dust bag instead.
• Hang belts by the buckle or roll them loosely to keep the shape. Don’t fold or crease leather unnecessarily.

Hardware and stitching

• Wipe metal buckles and hardware with a soft cloth to remove oils that can tarnish finishes.
• Check stitching and rivets periodically. If you notice loose threads or damage, have the piece repaired by a professional to prevent further wear.

What to avoid

• Avoid harsh detergents, household solvents, and abrasive brushes—these can strip finishes and damage the leather.
• Keep leather away from prolonged direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can dry and fade the hide.

Routine we recommend

• Monthly: wipe down with a soft cloth or leather wipe for light maintenance.
• Every 3–6 months: inspect and condition if leather appears dry.
• As needed: address stains and hardware cleaning immediately to prevent lasting damage.

For quick maintenance, consider our Leather Care Wipes (10 Pack) available in the shop. If you have a piece with heavy soiling or structural damage, contact a professional leather restorer—some issues can’t be safely fixed at home.
