A Guide To Leather Care
September 02, 2022
If you’re looking for a stylish and durable accessory to last you season after season, leather should be your immediate go-to. But if you want to start a long-term relationship with your new leather love affair, you’ll need to give it some regular TLC to keep it looking as gorgeous as ever.
The best place to start is to find good quality leather, like the bespoke leather used in Joules’ leather accessories and footwear. We’re also proud that all of our leather handbags are sourced from Leather Working Group approved tanneries – helping us to reduce the impact our leather has on the environment.
We’ve asked our Senior Accessories Technologist Frankie O’Dowd for her advice on how to care for your leather — a self-confessed “leather nerd”, we knew she was the right person to go to! So, if you’re looking for how to care for leather boots or how to care for a leather jacket, you’ve come to the right place, or if you want to treat yourself to some luxury leather accessories, our collection of women’s bags and purses is a good place to start.
HOW TO CARE FOR LEATHER
“Caring for your leather goods will help them age gracefully and will extend the life of them too. As a natural material, leather will have irregularities, but they’re not imperfections. Often small marks can be reduced by lightly buffing the leather with a dry cloth — if you’re going to use any product on your leather, always try a small inconspicuous patch first.”
