How to Care for Your Alvora Leather Products

At Alvora Leather, we believe that genuine leather becomes more beautiful with proper care. With the right maintenance, your leather jacket, bag, or accessory can remain stylish, durable, and comfortable for years.

1. Keep Leather Dry

Leather should be protected from excessive moisture.

If your leather product gets wet:

  • Gently wipe away excess water with a soft, dry cloth.

  • Allow it to dry naturally at room temperature.

  • Keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters, hair dryers, and other sources of strong heat.

Do not use a washing machine or tumble dryer unless the product's care instructions specifically allow it.

2. Avoid Excessive Heat and Sunlight

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures can cause leather to fade, dry out, or become damaged.

Store your leather products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

3. Keep Leather Clean

For everyday cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth.

Avoid using:

  • Bleach

  • Alcohol-based cleaners

  • Strong detergents

  • Household cleaning products

  • Abrasive materials

Always test any leather cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.

4. Use Leather Conditioner

Leather can naturally lose moisture over time. A suitable leather conditioner can help maintain its softness and appearance.

Apply conditioner sparingly with a clean, soft cloth and follow the instructions of the conditioner manufacturer.

Do not over-condition the leather, as excessive products may affect its appearance or finish.

5. Protect Your Leather Product

Try to keep your leather items away from:

  • Perfumes and sprays

  • Oils and cosmetics

  • Chemicals

  • Sharp objects

  • Excessive moisture

  • Rough surfaces

These can stain, scratch, or permanently damage the leather.

6. Proper Storage

When storing your leather jacket or clothing:

  • Use a wide, sturdy hanger to help maintain its shape.

  • Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.

  • Avoid tightly folding leather for long periods.

  • Do not store leather in plastic bags for extended periods.

For leather bags, keep the bag in its original shape and use a breathable dust bag when available.

7. Natural Leather Characteristics

Genuine leather is a natural material, so slight variations in color, texture, grain, and markings are normal.

Small wrinkles, natural grain patterns, and minor variations are not necessarily defects. These characteristics make every leather product unique.

8. If Leather Gets Scratched

Minor scratches can sometimes blend naturally into the leather over time.

Gently rubbing the area with a clean, soft cloth may help reduce the appearance of light surface marks. For deeper scratches or significant damage, we recommend consulting a professional leather-care specialist.

9. Important Care Advice

Always check the specific care instructions provided with your Alvora Leather product before using any cleaning or conditioning product.

When in doubt, test a product on a small, hidden area first or consult a professional leather-care specialist.

Take care of your leather, and it will take care of you for years to come.
