Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common leather care questions to help you maintain your Cheryl Irish Purse. Learn about different leather types, conditioning techniques, and how to address common issues.
What common problems do your customers experience with leather purses?
Leather may discolor when bent, or may get scuffed over time. These problems are cared for simply through careful use, regular conditioning, and gently washing with a wet rag.
There are different types of leather, and the care for each type is a bit different. Chrome tanned leather is generally softer and more water resistant. When wet, the water will generally run off of a chrome tanned handbag.
Veg tanned leather is stiffer and is not as water resistant as chrome tanned leather. Dry it with a clean cloth and the spots will likely disappear.
What's the simplest, most important thing someone new to leather care should know?
Your purse will need some care. To keep your purse looking like new, be sure to condition it every few months.
Most leathers need conditioner, and a good neutral conditioner may be used. To wash your purse, wipe with a wet rag. Every few months add a coat of conditioner, moisturizer, or cream. Always check for color-fastneness before applying a product to your purse. Some products may darken or remove the color.
