How to take care of and clean your jewellery made of leather and/or textile.

Leather For daily cleaning of your leather or textile jewellery, wipe over with a soft, dry cloth. Stains should be removed immediately before they soak in or dry, using a professional, chemical-free cleaner, soap flakes or saddle soap. Create suds in a bowl and apply them to a soft, lint-free cloth and wipe over. Afterwards, dry with a clean cloth and use leather conditioner for added protection. Keep leather out of direct sunlight.

Textile Wipe gently with a damp, white cotton cloth. If stained, act fast to avoid permanent damage. Run, don’t rub, a dampened cloth over the stain in a circular motion, working from the outer edge of the stain towards the centre. Apply a specialist fabric guard after cleaning for further protection. Do not immerse fabric cord jewellery in water as this may damage or discolour the fibres. Clean waxed cotton pieces with cold water and mild soap, using a clean cloth to gently wipe away dirt.
