Since leather goods are expensive and valuable, appropriate methods must be used to store them. If you take care of it properly, the leather will stay in good condition, it won't wrinkle and the wear will be less noticeable. Learn to preserve leather to extend the life of your leather goods.
Steps
Step 1. Insert acid-free paper into the leather garments when storing them
Stuff the sleeves and legs of shirts, coats and trousers to keep them in shape. You can hang them and cover them to protect them from dust and harmful elements in the environment.
Step 2. Hang leather garments to protect them and avoid wrinkling
Cover them with plastic or choose a cloth lining or garment bags that allow the skin to breathe. Use rather wide hangers instead of spun iron hangers, otherwise creases may form and over time the garments risk being damaged or deteriorated. In addition to the spun iron hangers, also avoid using the ribbons sewn inside the clothes, which can deform due to the weight of the leather. In addition, there is also the possibility that these ribbons detach from the garment due to the weight, risking to tear it.
Step 3. Store leather items in a breathable container
An excellent choice for storing leather goods are fabric containers, suitcases and wooden trunks. Do not store it in plastic as it prevents the skin from breathing. Also, mold may form if there is too much moisture in the environment. Leave enough space around each garment for air to circulate properly.
Step 4. Apply a product to soften the skin that preserves the quality and the right moisture
Step 5. Place your leather garments in a place where you can control the temperature
Exposure to heat, sunlight and moisture will put the quality of the skin at risk.
Step 6. Get professional services to store your leather garments
Sometimes, laboratories and leather goods shops offer this service.
Step 7. Periodically take out the leather goods from the area where you have stored them so that they will last longer
It is possible to keep the skin for a long time, but occasionally it is necessary to take some air.
