- Bags
1. Wash your shoes
Gently wet the cleaning brush either with water or with Leather Cleaner. Use it to gently scrub the upper and sole of the shoe.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Do not dry use additional heat. For an additional refreshing effect, we recommend spraying the inside of the shoe with Shoe Deo. Just a few pumps will give your shoes a delicate, natural lemongrass scent.
2. Using a cloth or a soft small brush, apply wax or lotion to the surfaces.
Use a universal cotton cloth or small soft application brush to apply Shoe Wax or Leather Lotion to a surface. You can use a rich paste - Shoe Wax which contains beeswax. When applier regularly it increases the water resistance of the leather. Shoe Wax preserves the leather giving it a pretty shine. Apply the wax to a clean and dry surface using a cloth or brush, rub it in very well or polish using a soft polishing brush. Shoe Wax nourishes, moisturizes and protects the leather against damage and moisture.
3. To additionally protect the shoes, use the Leather Protector
It is used to protect not only the skin, but also textiles.
* Please note! Before using any cleaning & leather care goods, first apply them on a tiny piece of leather to see how it reacts together. Always read the label and follow the producer’s recommendation. Do not take any shortcuts! Natural leather is a beautiful material that pays back for all the provided care with aging in a beautiful way.
