Make your Cape Cobra Leathercraft piece last a lifetime
Leather Care Instructions
Meticulously crafted by passionate artisans, your Cape Cobra Leathercraft piece will last a lifetime if you know how to care for it properly.
Cape Cobra Leathercraft uses only the finest leathers from trusted suppliers to ensure its natural beauty can withstand time and frequent use. Slight leather imperfections and colour variations are natural, and serve to enhance the uniqueness and beauty of each item. Our specialty leathers may change, soften, and gain a patina with time; but proper care will ensure the longevity of your item.Â
Protect your Cape Cobra Leathercraft piece from the elements & bad weather. Leather is sensitive to natural elements: water, oil, heat, light, and environments that are too humid or too dry. Protect it from prolonged exposure to intense light and heat (direct sunlight, in a window, on a radiator, etc.), which may alter the color. If the leather comes into contact with water, wipe it immediately in the direction of the scale with a soft cloth. This will prevent the formation of stains.
Some materials can leave permanent marks on leather: ink (markers and pens), oily products (makeup and lipstick), perfume and alcohol-based products. Repeated contact with raw or dark textiles can also have undesirable effects on leather that is lighter in color.
Finally, in order to preserve the shape of your Cape Cobra Leathercraft leather object, do not overload it or place irregularly shaped items inside.
To preserve its original beauty, give your Cape Cobra Leathercraft piece time to rest. When you are not using it, make sure to provide it with the best possible preservation conditions: a temperate, dry environment away from light, preferably in its original cloth cover. To maintain its silhouette, place tissue paper or bubble wrap inside and make sure all zippers are zipped and straps are neatly folded. We recommend that you do not use anti-humidity sachets, as they have a drying effect on leather.
