No two leather pieces are the same — and the charm of a natural leather product lies in how it ages. If you have bought (or plan to buy) a Papoutsi wallet or puc from our shop, you’re investing in a product of the highest quality. Proper care is key to making sure your wallet stays beautiful for a long time. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.
Care tips
Your wallet has been treated with a dirt- and water-repellent leather spray. To ensure optimal protection, repeat this treatment every three months. This helps the leather remain resistant to external influences.
Be careful when wearing light-coloured clothing, as dark leather may bleed at first. Direct sunlight or very heavy rain can also discolour the leather, so it’s best to protect your wallet from extreme weather conditions.
Never store your leather item in plastic, as this can reduce the leather’s breathability. Also, don’t keep it stored away for a long period without using it.
If your wallet has gotten wet, let it dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight and keep it away from heaters or ovens, as this can damage the leather. Dried raindrops or light stains can be treated with a fine, soft brush. If necessary, you can dissolve a little soap in lukewarm water and gently clean the leather with it. Then let the product dry at room temperature, and afterwards apply a colourless, water-repellent leather spray again to protect it.
Sometimes stains disappear if you gently rub two leather surfaces against each other. However, avoid using corrosive solvents such as petrol or acetone, as these can permanently damage the leather.
If your leather wallet becomes stiff, applying leather spray can make it supple again. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific product.
