Most of us who've purchased a beautiful new leather wallet want it to last for as long as possible and look as good, or better - as it did on the day we've received it. We would like to give you a few tips on how you can get the most out of your new leather wallet, or any of our fine DiLoro leather products.
In our previous blog "Full Grain Leather vs Genuine Leather" we covered the different grades (quality) and layers of leather. Going forward we trust that you made the best decision and went ahead and purchased a top quality, Full Grain Leather Wallet, anything of lesser quality will probably not be worth the efforts of caring for it - sorry to be so blunt but it is true.
One of the worst mistakes you can make is overstuffing your wallet. By doing so you are stretching out the leather grain, a process that can not be reversed.
You noticed how tide the card slots were when you first got your new wallet, that's how the leather will stay if you don't overstuff it. Your full grain leather wallet will also keep its original, elegant, flat shape and it will not look like an overstuffed turkey. This is the foremost rule to follow so please don't make the mistake of keeping expired coupons, old receipts and every possible membership card in your wallet. Tidy up your wallet every two weeks and only keep the essentials.
We all like to keep our wallet in our back pocket, that's fine as long as you remember these two important points:
Not only is it uncomfortable for you to sit on your wallet it is also not healthy for your body and your wallet. The extra pressure of your weight sitting on your wallet adds enormous stress to the leather, the seams as well as your credit cards and ID's. Do yourself and your wallet a favor, don't sit on it!
Leather, just like our skin is a natural product that needs attention if you want it to last as long as possible and look as good as new - or better.
Here are the three most harmful elements that could cause damage to your leather wallet:
