Aftercare for Leather Dog Accessories
About Our Leather
Bridle leather is renowned for its beauty, durability, and longevity. Crafted with expert skill, each piece undergoes meticulous finishing using traditional techniques. This craftsmanship enhances its appearance, feel, and robustness over time.
We recommend applying our All Natural Leather Balm immediately after purchasing your leather collar. This balm forms a protective barrier on the surface while nourishing the leather fibers, ensuring longevity and protection.
Maintenance Tips for Leather
Leather is a natural material that requires regular care to maintain its premium condition. Improper care, use, or maintenance may damage the leather and void the product warranty.
Handling Wet Leather
- Avoid Speed Drying: Rapid drying can alter the leather's chemical structure, leading to cracks or stiffness.
- Dry Slowly: Air drying at room temperature is preferable to direct sunlight or using a hair dryer. Slow drying helps maintain the leather's shape.
- Avoid Harsh Conditions: Prevent leather contact with salt water, chlorine, or harsh chemicals, as these can corrode the leather and damage its natural fibers.
Storing Your Leather Collar
- Ventilation is Key: Keep leather collars well ventilated to prevent mold and fungal growth.
- Avoid Plastic Wrap: Do not store leather in plastic, as it hinders ventilation.
Cleaning Your Leather Dog Collar
- Gentle Cleaning: Clean as needed with a damp cloth dabbed in mild soapy water.
- Air Dry: Allow the collar to air dry out of direct sunlight.
- Conditioning: If the leather becomes dry, apply Rogue Royalty All Natural Leather Balm to nourish and protect it from within.
Dress Leather Collars
Our luxury dress collars feature handmade designs with rose gold, black plated fittings, beads, crystals, and other embellishments. With heavy use, these collars and fittings may sustain damage, though the collar remains functional. For dogs prone to rough wear, we recommend selecting dark leather collars with solid steel or brass hardware, or collars from our SupaTuff range. Please note, while rose gold and black fittings are double plated, they may scratch or chip over time.
