Investing in a leather jacket, leather duffle bag, or leather wallet is about more than just fashion, it’s about owning something that gets better with time. But like anything worth having, leather needs care. Here’s Escala’s expert guide to keeping your leather pieces looking their best, season after season.
1. Clean Gently, Not Aggressively
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. Avoid harsh soap, stick to a leather-specific cleaner for stubborn spots.
2. Condition Regularly
Leather can dry out, especially in winter. Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep it soft, supple, and resistant to cracking.
3. Store the Right Way
Hang leather jackets on wide, padded hangers to preserve their shape. Keep leather bags stuffed with tissue paper when not in use. Avoid plastic covers, leather needs to breathe.
4. Keep It Dry (But Don’t Panic if Wet)
Rain happens. If your leather jacket or bag gets wet, pat it dry with a clean cloth and let it air dry naturally. Never use direct heat, no hair dryers!
5. Protect from Sun & Heat
Prolonged sunlight can fade and damage leather. Store your leather pants, skirts, and handbags in a cool, shaded place.
6. Professional Touch-Ups
If your leather gets scratched, stained, or needs a refresh, take it to a professional leather care specialist. A good polish or treatment can make it look brand new.
At Escala, we believe in slow fashion and timeless design. With proper care, your leather collection isn’t just for this winter, it’s for a lifetime.
