TELL THE TRUTH Care Instructions

Your TELL THE TRUTH piece is handcrafted from premium Italian leather. With proper care, it will develop a beautiful patina and last for years to come.

LEATHER FOOTWEAR CARE

Daily Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth after each wear
  • Remove dirt and dust gently with a horsehair brush
  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally if wet - never use direct heat
  • Use shoe trees to maintain shape when not in use

Regular Maintenance:

  • Apply leather conditioner every 3-6 months to maintain suppleness
  • Use products specifically designed for premium leather
  • For distressed finishes, the natural aging is intentional and adds character
  • Polish metal hardware with a soft cloth to maintain shine

Storage:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Keep in dust bags when not in use
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures

LEATHER BAG CARE

Daily Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth
  • Avoid overloading to maintain structure
  • Keep away from sharp objects that could scratch the leather

Regular Maintenance:

  • Apply leather conditioner every 3-6 months
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture
  • If wet, allow to air dry naturally away from heat sources

Storage:

  • Store in the provided dust bag
  • Stuff with tissue paper to maintain shape
  • Keep in a cool, dry place

Natural Patina:

  • Your leather will develop a unique patina over time
  • This is a hallmark of quality leather and adds to its character
  • Cognac leather develops a rich, warm tone with age
  • Black leather may show wear differently - this is normal and beautiful

BELT CARE

  • Wipe leather clean with a soft, dry cloth
  • Apply leather conditioner every 3-6 months
  • Polish steel hardware with a soft cloth to maintain shine
  • Store flat or rolled loosely
  • Steel components may develop natural patina - this is intentional

WHAT TO AVOID

  • Prolonged exposure to water or moisture
  • Direct heat sources (radiators, hair dryers, direct sunlight)
  • Harsh chemicals or cleaning products
  • Storing in plastic bags (leather needs to breathe)
