Despite the prolonged rainy period, we're already sensing the approaching summer. With the onset of warm weather, we rush to put away heavy clothes and bring out light and colorful garments from our wardrobes. But only proper storage guarantees that we can enjoy the same appearance and quality of our garments come fall.
Therefore, here we'll mention several basic and essential steps for properly storing our leather garments during summer.
1. Clean the garments: Remove dust and other dirt. Carefully examine the surface and lining for stains. Use only appropriate products according to the type of leather.
2. Prepare them for storage: Apply a thin layer of cream or other moisturizing product to the garment's surface. This will preserve its softness and flexibility.
3. Choose a suitable location: Avoid humid and warm places, as these conditions will lead to permanent leather damage and mold growth. Consider a dry and well-ventilated area.
4. NO direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure of leather garments to direct sunlight leads to fading and drying of the leather. Make sure to choose a sun-protected area in your home.
5. Proper hanging: Leather garments should ALWAYS be stored buttoned up, on wide-shoulder hangers to avoid deformation. Skirts and pants can be stored laid flat to prevent sagging from prolonged hanging on clip hangers.
At least once a month, air out and inspect the leather for stains or other signs indicating your garment's condition.
These are the basic storage rules. They provide sufficient care for your leather garments during the warm summer months.
