Leather & suede
Leather is a natural product and has a unique appearance due to the visible grain and slight color differences in the skin. The material is breathable and flexible, making it pleasant to wear.
Wash garments inside out as much as possible and wash delicate fabrics in a laundry bag. For colored garments, use a colored laundry detergent. White detergent may contain bleach and can only be used for pure white laundry. Certainly during the first washes, garments can give off color, so only wash with similar colors.
Tumble dryers use a lot of energy, can shrink your garment and cause faster wear. Dry your garment as much as possible on a drying rack with indirect sunlight. This is not only more sustainable, but you can also enjoy your garments for longer.
The washing instructions described are guidelines for the materials in their purest form. Before washing your garment, always check the washing label on the inside of the garment first.
Before use, treat leather with a stain and water-repellent colorless impregnation spray for optimal protection against dirt and water.
Leather can be treated with special leather cleaning agents. Never use chemical products. Dried raindrops and other light stains can be removed with a soft leather sponge or by gently rubbing the leather together. Spray again after the treatment. In case of large stains, take the garment preferably to a leather specialist to prevent damage.
To treat grease stains, use a clean dry cloth and dab as much of the grease as possible. Sprinkle a generous amount of talcum powder (or cornstarch) on the stain and leave it on overnight so that the fat can be absorbed well. The next day, wipe the leather with a soft leather sponge.
