If you want to learn how to store leather goods, I’ve put together 5 essential tips. With proper storage, you can keep them looking amazing for years to come.
- Avoid high heat and humidity: Leather can become stiff and misshapen if it is exposed to high heat or humidity. To avoid this, store your leather goods in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Use a protective cover: If you are storing leather goods for an extended period of time, consider using a protective cover to shield them from dust, dirt and sun.
- Stuff leather items when storing: To help prevent leather goods from becoming misshapen while in storage, stuff them with paper or fabric. This will help them keep their shape.
- Hang leather goods by their handles: When hanging leather goods, such as bags or jackets, be sure to hang them by their handles rather than by their straps. Hanging them by their straps can cause the leather to stretch and become misshapen.
- Don’t stack heavy items on top of leather goods: Avoid stacking heavy items on top of leather goods, as this can cause them to become damaged or misshapen.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your leather goods are stored properly and remain in good condition. If you’d like to learn more about caring for leather, check out this blog post.
