 Art n Vintage Product Care

Good leather actually gets better with age and use.

 How to care for your Art N Vintage leather products

CLEANING :

•   Rub lightly with a soft damp cloth dipped in light shampoo solution.

•   In the case of light-colored leather avoid dirt and oil.

•   Leather’s worst enemies are oil/eggs/pen marks. They do not come out.
•   Art n vintage’s light-colored leathers such as white, nude, and beak have a special finish, that adds as a protective layer, but this does not help against oil.

STORAGE :

•   Leather products should be well aired out or stored in the cloth bag.
•   Do not enclose leather products in plastic bags for a long period of time.

 MOISTURE CONTROL :

•   During monsoons, if fungus develops it should be rubbed off with a soft cloth dipped in a mild solution of Dettol.

•   If soaked wet, the bag should be stuffed with paper to retain shape and left to dry naturally in shade.

•   Do not dry in direct sunlight or with a hairdryer.
•   Excess heat causes the leather to lose its luster and might become stiff.

  CONDITIONING AND POLISHING :

•   If leather products become dry and lustreless, apply a small amount of Art n vintage leather care cream.
•   How to use the Art n vintage cream:
•   Patch test on a less visible part of the leather to check how the cream reacts with the leather e.g. the bottom of your bag.

•   Use a soft cloth/sponge.

•   Rub lightly in a circular motion.

•   Ensure it is worked into the seams and remove any excess cream with the cloth.
•   Use the cream as needed to lubricate and replenish the original suppleness and sheen of natural leather.

            Note: The different absorption properties of each hide allow for unique textures and color variations.
